Cultivating Future Humanitarian Leaders
In-Sight Collaborative is a learning collaborative of global humanitarian practitioners, activists, nonprofit workers, displaced people, and everyone in between. Motivated by the oppressive nature of the nonprofit sector, In-Sight envisions a world beyond the nonprofit/aid industrial complex. We promote the exploration of emergent strategies, liberatory frameworks, and decolonial methodologies in humanitarian, development, nonprofit, and healing practices.
Our mission is rooted in the idea that anyone can be a humanitarian with the right resources and platform. Being a humanitarian is a mindset, a way of grounding yourself in kindness and empathy in all you do to improve the lives of all humankind. As our understanding of complex problems evolves, we must be able to create more flexible human-centric solutions.
In-Sight Collaborative is adamantly opposed to the oppressive systems and structures that create the current humanitarian, development, and nonprofit sectors. These sectors as we know them are plagued with supremacy mentalities, colonial violence, and capitalist motives that perpetuate harm and thwart the pursuit of collective liberation.
What We Do
In-Sight Collaborative is a facilitator to those in the humanitarian sector who recognize that cultivating an equitable aid system starts with oneself. Moving from a direct aid model, In-Sight Collaborative now works to embody the accompaniment model through education and advocacy. We teach humanitarians, activists, and donors to be intentional while cultivating more equitable systems by providing educational tools, programs, and platforms to address harmful mindsets, policies, and practices.

2026 Campaign of Care
Humanitarians and activists are on the frontlines of today's biggest social justice struggles and humanitarian catastrophes... and they are burning out at alarmingly high rates.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, In-Sight Collaborative moved away from direct aid provision and into the humanitarian education space. As our programs evolved and expanded, we had the opportunity to learn from and with humanitarians from around the world.
One thing became clear: humanitarians and activists on the frontlines are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing. Chronically under-resourced, our sector lacks the capacity and culture to provide holistic support for the people on the frontlines.
Our humanness, and our humanity, are often forgotten in the day to day operations of humanitarian organisations. We can be so focused on the needs of others that we forget ourselves, and we forget that we too are made vulnerable. If this continues, no one will be left to run this sector.
This Giving Tuesday, In-Sight Collaborative is launching our Campaign of Care with the goal of bringing in 100 new subscribers who will contribute to wellness initiatives for humanitarians around the world in 2026.
