Rugged Compass is a multifaceted, purpose-driven platform built to unite and empower the global humanitarian community. Through a growing network of tools—including a mobile app, streaming TV, our Humanitarian Newsfeed, podcasts, and more—we foster meaningful connection, amplify voices of hope, and help you stay close to the causes you care about.
Whether you’re working in the field, supporting from afar, or simply looking to stay informed, inspired and in touch, Rugged Compass connects you with the stories, people, and causes that matter most—giving you the tools to help inspire change and make a meaningful impact.
We are inspired by those who serve humanity under difficult conditions. We value the work they do and the precious people they're helping to lift up and empower. We value those who give financially to this type of work worldwide. So we built a multifaceted platform to tell their stories, support their work, and enable them to do more.
The Rugged Compass mobile app is a gateway to meaningful adventure and global connection, designed for those who seek purpose beyond the familiar path. A growing network of likeminded individuals, our social platform offers both inspiration and community.
Members can engage in conversations, discover ways to get involved, and follow real-world projects that make a difference—turning curiosity into compassion, connection into action.
