Sports: We work across professional, collegiate and youth sports of all kinds, and we are particularly invested in women’s sports.

We are on a mission to drive resources and opportunity to professional women’s sports leagues and simultaneously combat pressing issues in sports – including addressing the alarming rates at which adolescent girls stop sports participation, promoting more equitable youth access to sports, and increasing representation of BIPOC coaches.

Our Founder has built and managed three globally recognized sports for development nonprofits. The rest of our team includes former professional, college and high school athletes who know firsthand sport’s potential to drive positive social change.

We work with entertainment leaders – both corporate professionals and entertainers themselves – to build models that drive revenue and create impact opportunities.

What they say

Saffron Music — Laura Lewis-Paul
Founder & Director of Culture

After 9 years operating within the UK music industry, we wanted to assess our impact to date and redefine our growth plans. With Charter Oak’s support, we refined our organizational vision, designed a new theory of change, and co-created an updated action plan that will deepen our impact, improve our evaluation and reporting, and support our financial sustainability. We learnt so much and appreciated the care and consideration they took at every step of this exciting journey.

We work with leading companies, nonprofits and individuals to maximize their social impact and exceed business objectives.
