“Look again at that dot. That’s here, that’s home, that’s us.”

–Carl Sagan

To view the Earth from space is to invite new questions about who we are, our relationship with one another, and our responsibility for this beautiful, fragile place we call home.

Led by Lindsay Levin, Blue Dot Collective is a small but mighty team with a passion for creating and leading initiatives to address humanity’s big questions. We believe in a kinder future—and we partner with leaders and organizations determined to make it a reality.

We work globally—at the intersection of leadership, climate, and peace building.

What We Do—

Creating the future we need will take a level shift in consciousness. We focus on igniting change at an individual and collective level— supporting global initiatives and coalitions with strategy and design, to drive courageous partnership and systems change

We work with business and policy leaders, philanthropists, scientists, artists, faith leaders, and community builders on issues ranging from how to accelerate progress on climate change to how to advocate for nonviolence in the face of conflict.

We don’t duplicate what other people and organizations already do well. Instead, we tap into an exceptional network to collaborate and bring the right resources into play. We value boldness, generosity, humility, and an open mind.

Our Partnerships—

We work with leading-edge organizations, who have complementary skills and reach, to deliver transformative impact.
