Robert’s Legacy
“The greatest mistake in development work is assuming wisdom flows from North to South. The Changemakers Initiative exists to correct this misconception. The wisdom is already there—our job is simply to fuel it.”
— Robert Harper, from his final journal entry (April 2021)
Robert Harper’s vision continues to guide everything we do. While he didn’t seek recognition during his lifetime, his “radical trust” approach is increasingly recognized as a necessary evolution in global philanthropy.
The Harper Family Trust’s $25 million endowment ensures his legacy will continue to empower local changemakers for generations to come.
