Collective Impulse

What Collective Impulse does

Collective Impulse (Fundación Impulso Colectivo) is a Colombian nonprofit foundation established in 2021 and headquartered in Bogotá at Calle 65 # 16 - 09. The organization supports peace-building and social transformation initiatives in Colombia by identifying and strengthening social leaders — including victims of armed conflict, ex-combatants, indigenous communities, and youth in vulnerable conditions — and connecting them to a curated network of 16+ social enterprises. Its core activities include providing access to funding and technical assistance, facilitating social investment flows, and using storytelling as a bridge between Colombian communities and global audiences.

The organization operates three core product lines: Change Sessions (educational virtual experiences featuring live-streamed urban tours, cooking classes, photo journeys, and cultural presentations from peace-building leaders), Peace Harvest (curated baskets of organic Colombian products — coffee, cocoa, honey, seeds, beers — sourced from social enterprises), and Social Impact & Sustainability Consultancy (advisory services for organizations and enterprises on sustainability strategies, impact investment, and social business models). Distribution runs through a direct-to-consumer model via the Wix-hosted collectiveimpulse.org website, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, with donations accepted through Vaki, PayPal, and Bancolombia.

The business model combines one-time product sales (Peace Harvest baskets, Change Session bookings), professional services (consultancy), and donations. The target customer base includes individual consumers purchasing baskets or experiences, organizations engaging consultancy services, and impact-focused partners (universities, private and public sector entities). Operating geographies span Colombia and Mexico. Quantified impact to date includes $25,406 in seed capital raised, $12,850 in economic aid delivered, 16 donations received, 16+ social enterprises supported, and 3,100+ lives impacted through peace-building initiatives. Notable partner-enterprise recognition includes the 2015 UNDP Equatorial Prize awarded to Wuasikamas.
