Who We Are
People are at the heart of our work.
Our Mission
To solve our world’s most pressing challenges, one community at a time.
Our Vision
A world where equitable and regenerative systems enable all communities to thrive
What We Do
Pyxera Global is a nonprofit organization that helps partners navigate complexity to build solutions rooted in community.
For more than 35 years, we’ve worked in over 110 countries to reshape systems so they are equitable, regenerative, and built to last. We connect businesses, philanthropies, and community leaders to solve challenges at the intersection of economy, environment, and equity.
The people closest to a challenge usually know the path forward. Our job is to bring the right partners to the table, clear obstacles, and make sure solutions last — with benefits reaching people who’ve been structurally excluded.
We start by seeing the whole picture—mapping what’s really going on so partners can act with clarity.
From there, we connect goals, aligning business priorities with what matters most to communities. Just as importantly, we focus on building trust, doing the relationship work that makes change durable.
In practice, this means rolling up our sleeves on tailored, hands-on efforts: from skills-based volunteering and strengthening local supply chains to building coalitions that take on challenges no single organization can solve alone.

Our Story
- 1990: Founded in the wake of the Berlin Wall’s fall, mobilizing American volunteers to support economic transitions across the former Eastern Bloc.
- 1990s–2000s: Expanded globally with USAID partnerships and on-the-ground work across regions.
- 2000s: Partnered with oil and gas companies on local content and procurement models — experience that later shaped broader corporate work.
- 2008: Helped kick off modern global pro bono with IBM’s first large-scale skills-based volunteering program.
- 2020: Pivoted rapidly to virtual delivery during COVID-19 to keep partners and communities connected.
- Today: We bring this history to current challenges in climate, supply chains, and economic equity.
