Think Tank Global
Sharing proven solutions. Inspiring community action. Helping people help people.
“Let each of you look not only to his own interests,
but also to the interests of others.” Phil 2:4
Think Tank Global gathers real solutions that are already working in communities. Here people share practical ideas that help others. When great ideas come together, hope grows.
Think Tank Global — Scripture Foundation (Philippians 2:4)
Philippians 2:4 teaches us to look not only to our own needs, but also to the needs of others. This reflects the heart of Christ - a life of compassion, shared responsibility, and practical care. As James Talarico expressed, there is no loving God without loving our neighbour. Think Tank Global grows from this truth. It is a place where people share solutions that help others, where communities learn from one another, and where love is expressed through action. When we notice the needs around us and work together to meet them, we live out the love of Christ and bring hope to the world.

What This Page Represents
Think Tank Global is a place where people share real solutions that are already working in communities around the world. (Don’t worry we will make space for original ideas that have not yet been tried and tested but we are starting with proven successful solutions first.)
Here we gather practical ideas that help people in times of need - from caring for the unsheltered, supporting those struggling with addiction, finding affordable services, responding to crisis, or helping communities rebuild after hardship.
When we share what works, hope multiplies. This page reflects the spirit of Many Hands Make Light Work - people helping people, communities learning from one another, and hearts united in compassion and action.

How To Share Your Practical Solution
Submission Form Description
Have you seen something that works in your community? We invite you to share real programs, services, or ideas that are helping people in practical ways. These must be real programs or initiatives, already operating in a community, which show evidence of success and are serving people with compassion and dignity.
Think Tank Global gathers proven solutions so communities can learn from one another and bring hope where it is needed most. Your contribution may help another community find an answer.
- A community program or service
- A creative solution to a social challenge
- A model that helped people in crisis
- A support initiative that is already working
- A story of people helping people
INNOVATIVE IDEAS ARE WELCOME … If you feel you have an idea that has not yet been tried and proven successful, that you feel could be a perfect solution to a very real problem, feel free to share your idea on this form. We will evaluate the idea, will probably contact you to discuss it further, and if approved we will post it as an “innovative” solution from a person who is “thinking outside of the box”.
