Let’s ignite
Collaborative Change.
About
In 1998, FuseChange began as a seed of inspiration sparked by a profound moment. After hearing Toni Morrison speak at Northern Arizona University, her words illuminated the struggles faced by people in urban communities and the urgent need for transformative change. That moment ignited a lifelong passion for the power of community-driven action and the role each person plays in creating this change.
With the emergence of the internet, social networks, and collaborative tools, FuseChange’s vision only strengthened. The belief took root: if the entire social and environmental sectors could understand who is working on what, where, when, why, and how, we could coordinate our efforts to achieve far greater impact in less time and with fewer resources.
The vision never changed. Two decades later after many collaborative experiments, FuseChange was founded to empower communities with the tools they need and inspired to seamlessly integrate the capabilities to work together.
We see incredible power when people unite their capabilities, to work as one efficient and cohesive system for positive change.

Board President
Sean Kvingedal
I transform complex processes and ideas into over the top product solutions. My other half develops collaborative systems to help people and the environment for that last 20 years. It’s always been my goal to fully merge social good with business and do so collaboratively.
Professionally, I enjoy working in startups because it involves running on ambiguity and uncertainty. It provide me with a sense of enjoyable chaos. So my career spans across a wide range of activities that include business strategy, sales, marketing, product development and user experience design.
I have founded a SaaS social enterprise and launched a range of projects that brought diverse groups of people together solve problems. I also enjoy finding people with leadership skills and coaching them to use their talents to inspire others and do good in the world.
What makes me who I am…. I embrace diversity, like to be good and kind (to the best of my ability). It’s my mission to help people and the environment in someway.
What are your passions to help change the world?
I want to help as many people as I can utilizing technologies as an approach to increase change output. I also want to create an organization that will define what it means to be a company of people that hold strong values to be good, kind and embrace the diversity of others.
