About Synergos


These women are members of a hat weaving cooperative in Sigsig, Ecuador, supported by our partner, the Esquel Foundation.

Founded in 1986, Synergos is a nonprofit organization that brings people together to address the underlying causes of poverty and inequity in innovative ways that lead to meaningful, long-term change.

Synergos builds and supports networks of leaders engaged in efforts to reduce poverty and increase equity around the world. We work with these philanthropists and civil society leaders, as well as with community-based groups, businesses, governments, foundations and international organizations, to make sustainable systems changes that enhance the opportunities for and help meet the needs of those who are poor and marginalized.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience bringing people together across divides, Synergos explores, forms, facilitates and supports partnerships that include and respect the wisdom of all key stakeholders. We also work to develop the local leadership, capacity and institutions that are needed to sustain these initiatives. In addition, we share our learning and those of others in order to increase the impact of our combined work.

Synergos was founded by Peggy Dulany, who now serves as the organization's Chair. Our staff of 40 is headquartered in New York and onsite in Latin America and Southern Africa. Synergos' work is supported by private foundations, international agencies, corporate donations, and individual and family contributions.
