ABOUT
David Clark Cause (DCC) is a global social impact platform conceived as a living body of work—one that uses culture, institutions, and public participation as its medium.
Founded by David Clark, DCC creates cause-driven brands: conceptual platforms designed to confront the most urgent justice challenges of our time by inviting the world to participate in their solution. Each initiative begins as an idea, is shaped through collaboration, and scales through institutions, culture, and collective action.
For more than three decades, DCC has pioneered the concept of the Cause Brand—enduring, purpose-built movements that move beyond awareness to drive measurable, systemic change. Through these platforms, DCC has aligned presidents and prime ministers, Fortune 500 companies, global institutions, artists, technologists, and grassroots communities around shared moral imperatives—raising millions of dollars and improving lives worldwide.
At its core, David Clark Cause is built on a simple belief:
the most powerful ideas do not ask people to observe history—they invite them to help shape it.

CAUSE FLASH
CREATE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS
Created by DCC, Cause Flash is a unique digital platform that aggregates the social media voices of renowned celebrities, organizations and the public at large, to raise global awareness and funds for important causes and campaigns. By leveraging the power of followers and fans, Cause Flash instantly launches focused appeals to address and promote some of the greatest issues of the day to a global audience.
The concept is simple, at a prearranged date selected due to an association with a relevant social justice issue, DCC launches a social media campaign with branded messaging around a specific cause. The campaign consists of the aggregated “Social Media Voices” (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram followers) of prominent individuals and organizations so a specific cause message instantly reaches the social media feeds of a massive, global audience of millions of followers and fans. The campaign messaging also invites the followers and fans to share the message with their own followers – further amplifying the Cause Flash.
The immediate global reach of Cause Flash social campaigns makes them extremely effective in promoting the various DCC Cause Brands and additional causes DCC supports. To date, the aggregated total Social Media Voice of all Cause Flashes has topped 6 Billion.

ABOUT DAVID CLARK
David Clark is a conceptual architect of global movements—an originator of ideas designed to be inhabited, expanded, and ultimately carried forward by the world.
He does not simply launch campaigns. He designs frames of meaning so compelling that presidents, artists, institutions, technologists, and citizens step into them—freely, visibly, and at scale. His work rests on a consistent principle: lasting change occurs not when people are instructed, but when they are invited to participate in history.
Over more than three decades, Clark has authored initiatives that reshaped how society understands justice, responsibility, and collective power:
• He helped transform the global conversation on racism into a shared moral reckoning, working alongside Muhammad Ali.
• He reframed the fight against HIV/AIDS as a human rights imperative with Nelson Mandela.
• He elevated peace, dignity, and equality onto the world’s most visible stages through trusted collaboration with the families of Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, and Jam Master Jay.
• He mobilized heads of state, cultural leaders, technologists, and citizens around ideas larger than any single institution—partnering with United Nations Human Rights, IBM, and more than one million developers worldwide.
Founded by Clark and developed with global partners including United Nations Human Rights and the University of Oxford, the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Alliance reframes the climate crisis as a human rights emergency—shifting the narrative from future risk to present responsibility and amplifying that message on the world stage.
From global summits to university halls, Clark’s work reflects a consistent conviction: that ideas, when designed with clarity, integrity, and moral gravity, can reorganize power itself.
“Change how people see the world—and you change the world itself. Every revolution, every act of human progress, begins the same way: with a shift in perception—when people see not only what is, but what could be.”
— David Clark
Equally committed to the next generation, he regularly shares his philosophy with students and emerging leaders at Oxford University, Trinity College Dublin, New York University, and the University of Colorado.
David Clark’s work is ultimately singular in purpose:
to design the idea—and then invite the world to help complete it.
