About Us
Founded in 2021, Transcend International is a 501c3 nonprofit organization focused on increasing access to education and financial inclusion using a community-focused approach.
Who We Are
Transcend International was created to be a public-facing foundation, and we are excited to work with as many community partners as possible to begin tackling some of the world’s largest systemic issues.
One of our first projects is focused on the digital divide. While visiting Detroit, our Founder recognized how detrimental the lack of broadband internet has become. There are communities of people across the nation and throughout the world that cannot receive adequate medical care, education, financial access, and a slew of other resources because they cannot connect to the internet. Transcend International is facing this challenge head-on by first seeking to fully understand the problem.
Throughout the next several years we plan to draft and implement a thorough study of communities and systems impacted by the digital divide. Our hope is that we can find lasting solutions and partner with like-minded individuals, companies, and organizations to close the gap.

Purpose
We must understand the why and to strive to do the right thing every time. Our mission is firmly front and center. Always.
Leverage
We recognize that we can’t succeed alone. Leverage is about finding the most efficient way to partner with our networks and to use our resources to achieve our goals.
Insight
We practice constant curiosity and have a passion for research and data-driven solutions. It is imperative that we take the time to analyze each step we take and look for learning opportunities. This approach will ultimately drive the greatest degree of mission-focused impact.
Focus
The ability to hone in on a task, and to make every minute matter is what turns insight into action. When we choose to focus, we make the best use of our time and resources.
Teamwork
We are all team members and each one of us is equally important to attaining our goals. Words matter. How we treat each other matters. You can’t expect to make a positive impact on the world without first attending to your stakeholders, partners, and mission-focused communities.
