Hear From Our Founders

After a decade of experience in entrepreneurship and philanthropy, Dan and Lisa Graham co-founded Notley in 2015 to create an ecosystem that generates social good. The Grahams sought to engineer a movement with diverse resources and a shared purpose: tackling tough social challenges.

Unleashing Relentless Changemakers

By focusing on the changemaker, we remain cause-impartial, committing to the issues that are most pertinent at the moment. We believe inclusive, impact-focused communities of people have a higher probability of creating more sustainable, scalable and innovative change.

What is A Changemaker?

Changemakers are innovative, purpose-driven leaders addressing issues impacting their communities. Changemakers are not limited to nonprofit founders and philanthropists – changemakers can come from any industry, and any sector: for-profit or nonprofit.

How Does Notley Support Changemakers?

We act as the convener, bringing partners from nonprofits and for-profits together with the community to address problems from every angle. We provide comprehensive support to changemakers through funding, connections, and strategic guidance.
