Profit for Purpose

DT Global + DT Institute

DT Global is doing development differently. We are a global international development firm largely owned by a charitable trust. We are also a key donor to the DT Institute, a not-for-profit charitable organization founded by the trustee of our charitable trust owner. DT Global’s donations (to date) of over US$ 6.5 million have been used to further peace and development initiatives to improve as many lives as possible in more than 30 countries. Our structure reaffirms our commitment to Profit for Purpose. Our decisions are driven by a desire to leverage our assets (including our global staff, data, experience, past performance, and funding) and the relationships we’ve built to accelerate impact in the communities where we work
