Sage Foundation

Through Sage Foundation we empower the entrepreneurs of today and tomorrow to do great things. By using our time, funding, skills and technology, we break down barriers, drive inclusive growth, and support the next generation.

A decade of making a difference

2025 marked 10 years since we began our mission to support our local communities through volunteering and fundraising. Since that time, colleagues have volunteered an incredible 1.4 million hours and raised over $5million to support local causes. Behind those numbers are people - from colleagues driving action, to the entrepreneurs, school children, communities, non-profits and more that we support. Take a look at our journey over the past decade. 

Partnerships for Good

Teens in AI

Teens in AI launched at the AI for Good Global Summit at the UN in May 2018 and aims to inspire the next generation of ethical artificial intelligence researchers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who will shape the world of tomorrow. Our partnership delivers impactful programs, giving young people early exposure to develop AI skills through collaborative hands on experiences.
