The needle moves a little when intent, skills, and resources come together.
We strive to bring them together.

Samagata Foundation is a non-profit organisation that supports projects and ideas, even the little ones, that help create the conditions for a thriving, plural society. We take an interdisciplinary approach to building public commons, institutions, and spaces that bring together diverse ideas and sparks of creation across disciplines—from science to art, technology to culture.
We believe that small, positive ripples have the potential to generate bigger, positive outcomes in this infinitely chaotic and absurd world. After all, it is the Butterfly Effect through which the tiniest of events and the most random of coincidences transform into whirlwinds of change.
