Sankari Studios

Sankari Studios began with some bold questions: can gaming be activated for good? Can you motivate and engage everyone with access to a mobile device to solve our world’s hardest problems? Can you build a game that simulates climate issues and rewards gamers with “points” that translate to real world dollars applied to climate change solutions? Partnering with WFPC, Sankari structured as a Public Benefit Corporation to receive both for profit investments as well as grants that support the charitable and educational aspects of gameplay, and also built a sidecar charitable vehicle to deploy gameplay profits.

Sankari was able to recognize various motivations and accomplish multiple goals: create a movement around the mission, galvanize for-profit investors, and funnel philanthropic dollars to the cause.
