We have this wildly optimistic belief that there is enough money, goodwill, and good intentions in the world to solve most of the world’s problems. We feel like it’s not just a massive opportunity, but an important responsibility and we want to spend our lifetime working towards that."

Pledge letter

We’ve long had a 2-step plan for Canva:

  • Step 1. To build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and
  • Step 2. To do the most good we can do.

With the help of an incredible team, family, investors, and community across the globe, we have been very fortunate to make some good strides towards Step 1, making Step 2 more important than ever.

We have this wildly optimistic belief that there is enough money, goodwill, and good intentions in the world to solve most of the world’s problems. We feel like it’s not just a massive opportunity, but an important responsibility and we want to spend our lifetime working towards that.

Mel & Cliff,
on behalf of the whole Canva team
