Lauren Domino

Brainstormer, Connector, Parent, Philanthropist

If I had to name my everyday superpower, it would be connection. I’m a philanthropy leader who meets people where they are and connects the dots to drive meaningful impact. My career has spanned the arts, higher education, and large-scale philanthropy, always grounded in expanding access and strengthening communities. Today, I focus on advancing global philanthropy at scale—helping mobilize resources, ideas, and people to accelerate progress in global health and development and beyond.

As cheesy and simple as it sounds, making the world a better place.

How we can actively find ways back to one another in this increasingly divided world.

This is my first year at TED, and I can't wait! I'm an avid viewer and listener to all things TED!

Improv! I was a professional improv performer for 15 years.
