The Unity Ball

Different stories. One world.

A connected global object bringing together sport, art, culture, technology and impact — one stitch at a time.

One object · many handsInformed by the 17 UN SDGs
The Unity Ball — a baseball whose panels carry the world: an astronaut, the Earth, faces, a whale, a city, the 17 Global Goals

    The ball is moving. So is the story.

    Every stop it makes is a breadcrumb. Keep rolling and they lead somewhere.

    01 · The object

    A ball that remembers.

    A chip inside carries its own ledger — every place it has been, every hand that signed for it. Tap it and it tells you.

    In development
    02 · The journey

    It travels so the story does.

    Stadium to schoolyard to summit, informed by the seventeen Global Goals. Alignment, not endorsement.

    Vision
    03 · The makers

    Stitched by people you can name.

    Every panel has a maker. Every maker has a page.

    In development
    The ball comes to rest

    The story is told. Here is how the work runs.

    Below is the machine behind the ball: the ledger, the roles, the capital paths. The ball keeps its place in the corner, and comes back when it is your turn to act.

    01 — The gap

    A sector that reports
    on itself, to the world.

    An impact claim is usually a sentence in a PDF. No reviewer. No date of assertion. No way to tell a field observation from an aspiration. Funders are asked to underwrite the difference.

    So we built the missing primitive: a record with a state. ↓

    02 — The mechanism

    3 states

    DraftReviewedVerified

    Every record occupies exactly one state, visibly, for its whole life. Promotion requires a named actor and a dated artefact. Nothing is promoted quietly, and nothing is deleted.

    Draft

    Asserted, not yet checked

    A field observation enters here — public immediately, and visibly unverified. Openness is not endorsement.

    Promotes on a named reviewer plus a source document.

    Reviewed

    Checked internally

    A second party has matched the claim to its artefact and signed the match. Discrepancies stay attached to the record.

    Promotes on an independent party, unaffiliated with delivery.

    Verified

    Confirmed independently

    An external verifier has confirmed the claim against primary evidence. The chain stays readable forever.

    Terminal. Revisions append; they never overwrite.

    The ledger is the product. Walk a record end to end, with your own evidence.

    03 — Take a role

    3 ways in

    ParticipateBuildSupport

    04 — Idea to impact

    5 steps

    IdeaProspectusMissionTeamEvidence

    Five steps, each leaving a record behind. An early idea is never presented as verified impact — the ladder is the whole point.

    1. 01

      Idea

      A need, named by someone close to it.

    2. 02

      Prospectus

      Scope, cost and owner, in the open.

    3. 03

      Mission

      A funded plan with a delivery date.

    4. 04

      Team

      Named people, named accountabilities.

    5. 05

      Evidence

      Artefacts others can inspect.

    Have an idea, a capability, or a network that belongs in this pipeline?

    Tell us about it

    05 — The agenda

    One connected agenda.

    Seventeen Global Goals, one graph. Missions, chapters, learning and evidence all attach to the same seventeen nodes, so a funder can move between a goal and the artefacts under it without leaving the record.

    Independent network. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. No UN affiliation or endorsement is implied.

    06 — Featured pathways

    A place to enter
    the work.

    Start with a country, a skill, or a shared cause.

    07 — The operating rhythm

    How change happens.

    A living loop turns intention into work, work into evidence, and evidence into a pathway someone else can carry forward.

      Need becomes a missionEvidence becomes trustTrust travels to the next place

      08 — Where it runs

      Two programmes,
      both on the ledger.

      Liberia Program

      Water, health and livelihood infrastructure

      Budget
      $5,000,000
      Horizon
      12 months
      Line items
      15

      Every line of the operating model is published with the record it funds, so a funder can trace a dollar to an artefact rather than to a category.

      Pave HER Way

      Education and enterprise pathways for women

      Budget
      $90,000
      Horizon
      6 months
      Line items
      12

      A deliberately small programme, fully instrumented — the control case that proves the ledger survives contact with real delivery.

      Budgets and line-item counts as published in the current operating models. Full models are available to qualified funders on request.

      09 — Capital

      3 capital paths

      ContributeInvestGrant

      Gifts, equity and institutional grants answer to different law and different expectations. We never put them on the same form.

      Path 01

      Contribute

      Fund field operations directly. Contributions are applied to delivery and appear against the records they fund.

      Contribute

      Path 02

      Invest

      Equity conversations happen with people, not web forms. Visit investor relations to tell us who you are; a principal takes it from there.

      • No terms quoted on this page
      • No funds accepted through this path

      Path 03

      Grant

      For foundations, DFIs, sovereign and corporate funders. We open with the diligence packet and the funding vehicle, in that order.

      • Line-traceable operating models
      • Verification methodology and verifier list
      • Vehicle structuring, including PRI routes
