Sama Group is a mid-sized nonprofit based in San Francisco, California. It pursues the view that providing work is a powerful solution to global poverty, leveraging technology and private-sector practices to expand access to dignified work and job training for people who otherwise would not have the opportunity. Since 2008, Sama has built three programs—Samasource, Samaschool, and Samahope—with Samahope now part of Johnson & Johnson’s CaringCrowd platform. The organization has helped cultivate Impact Sourcing, a model that deliberately directs work to people in need through a company’s labor and procurement processes to drive positive social change. Through this approach, Sama reports moving nearly 30,000 people out of poverty. In the nonprofit sector, Sama applies private-sector methods and technology to broaden access to work opportunities for underserved populations.
