Today, we’re releasing Pyxera Global’s 2025 Milestone Report.
For 35 years, we’ve worked alongside communities, companies, and coalitions through moments of big change — from the upheaval after the Berlin Wall, to the rise of corporate volunteering, to today’s climate and digital disruptions. Across all of it, one thing has been true: progress lasts when people closest to the challenges help shape the solutions.
This report comes at a turning point. The past few years have shown how fast crises can hit — and how fragile progress can be when communities are intentionally left out of decision-making.
That’s why this report isn’t just a year-end recap or a “35th anniversary celebration.” It pulls together lessons from 35 years to show what’s worked and what matters most as we look ahead.
What the report is
- A reflection: lessons from our past without losing sight of our purpose.
- A map: connecting decades of pivots and partnerships into a clearer picture.
- A starting point: setting the stage for the work we need to do next.
Why it matters now
The challenges of this decade — climate shocks, inequality, disruptive technologies — can’t be solved with short-term fixes. They call for patience, humility, and partnerships that last.
This report is an invitation: for funders, companies, and changemakers who believe communities already hold much of the knowledge and leadership we need to solve our world’s most pressing challenges.
FAQs

No (but please do!). You can scan the numbers, read a single story, or dive into the full narrative.
Anyone asking how to engage meaningfully — funders, companies, communities, and peers.
