About the organisation
YGAP & POLISHED MAN
ygap is an international organisation that supports early-stage social impact ventures with locally led solutions to local problems. We believe in the power of inclusive entrepreneurship as an effective way to make equitable and sustainable change in the world.
We find, accelerate and support the growth of impact ventures led by local entrepreneurs who deeply understand the unique challenges of their communities and are best placed to develop solutions, and we create enabling environments for ventures to succeed in the ecosystems in which they operate.
We currently support ventures across Africa, South Asia, the Pacific Islands and Australia. ygap has offices and local teams that lead our programs in each area that we work. To date, our work has positively impacted the lives of over a million people.
Running for the month of October, the Polished Man campaign celebrates the great men and women in our society: those who paint a nail, raise funds, raise their voice and actively commit to ending violence against children. Over the last seven years, we have raised $7M, engaged over 100,000 people from around the world to get behind this movement funding both trauma recovery and trauma prevention in Australia and around the world. In the past we had the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Zac Efron, Kelly Slater and Malcolm Turnbull get behind us, just to name a few!

To truly achieve this, we need a community that is representative of the people we serve; the people of the world.
ygap is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion across the organisation and all of our operations.
