Annual Fundraiser
2025
Give today to amplify the purpose, power, and proximity of transformational leaders who are changing our world right now.
#SurgeForMore is our annual fundraising campaign focused on expanding transformational leadership in education and communities by elevating leaders of color who create immediate, lasting change that traditional institutions struggle to deliver. Your gift becomes a multiplier of transformational leadership, directly supporting leaders who bring purpose, power, and proximity to the communities that need them most. At a time when this work has never been more vital, your investment helps create the kind of immediate, felt, and lasting change our world demands—empowering leaders to live into their purpose, exercise their power, and work in proximity to the communities they serve.
“Surge doesn’t put something in our heart. Surge helps us see what’s already there because, unfortunately, the system makes us believe that we don’t have anything special to give, that our labor is the only thing that our children need. But no, each of us has a very special gift in our heart in service of our communities and also in service of ourselves.”
— Tara Haskins, KC23 & Surge Angels 24
The Surge Institute’s mission is to educate and develop leaders of color who create transformative change for young people, their families and our broader communities.
