- Step Two
Our Two-Step Plan
We’re driven by a deeper purpose: to do the most good we can.
Turning success into impact
At Canva, we have a simple yet ambitious Two-Step Plan: (1) Build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and (2) Do the most good we can.
Step One is about creating value by empowering the world to design. Step Two is about using our success to drive positive change – whether it’s through free access for nonprofits and schools, volunteering, or partnering with organizations tackling the world’s biggest challenges.
From the beginning, we’ve believed that success and impact go hand in hand. The more we grow, the more good we can do – and that’s what drives everything we build.

Focus areas
We focus our efforts across four key areas where we believe we can make the greatest difference. Each of these areas helps shape the future we’re working toward.
Securing basic human needs
Since 2021, we've partnered with GiveDirectly to deliver direct cash transfers to people living in extreme poverty.
By putting the choice into the hands of each person, people have the freedom and the dignity to invest in whatever is most impactful for their circumstances. Early research has shown 90%(opens in a new tab or window) of recipients rose above the extreme poverty line three months post-transfer.
