The Novus Manifesto

We’re Novus – named after one of the oldest words for ‘new’.

We’re here because we have a deep, unshakeable belief in the power of people to transform the world into something new.

We all want to be good.
But doing good every day can feel like an impossible task.
So we wanted to make having a real, positive impact on the world as simple as possible. Something you could do everyday.

That’s why we’ve made a card that lets you do good with every tap.

Hope is in short supply right now.


The challenges we face have never felt so overwhelming.
But together, we can flip the script. We’re bringing in boundless optimism. We’re giving people the belief that building a better world is possible.

We want everyone to see the future the way we do: a place of endless opportunities, where transforming lives, saving species and regenerating nature is second nature to us all.

We believe in people – and the limitless power they have when they work as one. That’s why we’re connecting our community to projects that are doing good: to make them even better. Together, we can bring them the funding and support they need to create a better future for all of us.

That’s probably not something we’ll ever finish doing. But we’ll never stop doing it, either.
