About The Cultivated Group

Formerly known as Get Involved - Be the Change, The Cultivated Group has expanded into an international portfolio of conscious, impact-driven businesses. The Cultivated Group was created with a vision for a future where impactful ideas, access to opportunity, and taking action to change and preserve the beautiful world in which we live is equitably accessible.​​ Using our Fluid Framework™ method, we use an industry-agnostic approach to connect the "servant's heart" to the "business brain" of impact-driven businesses.

 

Amongst the growing Cultivated portfolio is Cultivated Creative, the creative brain behind what we do, whose goal is to challenge convention in every sense of the word. Through Creative, we're unleashing and empowering creative potential. Additionally, The Cultivated portfolio is home to Cultivated Change, the philanthropic heartbeat of who we are, whose focus is providing philanthropic advising services to individuals ready to give and causes ready to ignite change. Through Change, we're doing good, better. Housing all The Cultivated Group's startup and business development activity, Cultivated Ventures is the for-profit focused wholly owned subsidiary. The startup and business development arm of our operation, through Ventures, we activate and empower: turning dreams, into action, into realities. We're tackling this world’s biggest problems, together. Most recently, Cultivated has announced The Elevated Method, through which timeless tools, templates, and exercises are shared to co-create purpose-driven lives & businesses with intention, impact, and integrity. Our team is also thrilled to be building Cultivated Press; a boutique, bespoke publishing firm focused on illuminating authentic stories, planting seeds for our future. 

​

Social impact is the core of why the Cultivated Group exists. We provide innovative solutions, unconventional products, streamlined processes, and transparent business.
