In a social media landscape built on engagement at any cost, Yuvoice is building something different — a platform that rewards users for their real-world impact. The Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health is proud to support them.
The Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health has long held that the social media landscape — as it currently exists — is one of the most consequential behavioral health challenges of our time. Platforms engineered for engagement, not wellbeing. Algorithms designed to provoke rather than connect. Communities built around outrage rather than purpose.
Which is exactly why we believe in what Yuvoice is building.
In February 2026, CEOWORLD Magazine published an exclusive profile of Yuvoice founder and CEO Isvari Maranwe, following the company’s successful close of a $1 million lead angel investment round — a remarkable achievement for a pre-product startup, and a clear signal that the market sees what we see: a genuine alternative to the social media status quo.
What Yuvoice is building
Yuvoice is a social media marketplace with a fundamentally different design philosophy. Where existing platforms reward time spent scrolling, Yuvoice rewards tangible, real-world impact. Users earn recognition — called karma points — for verified actions that produce measurable results in their communities and beyond.
AI-Powered Karma SystemA patent-pending algorithm that matches users by skills and missions and then issues karma for verified offline impact
Purpose-Led CommunitiesGlobal changemaker groups built around shared missions — from ending homelessness to advancing women's health
Built-In Giving ToolsFundraising, volunteering, nonprofit support, and CSR tools integrated directly into the platform
Citizen Journalism HubExclusive content from The Yuvoice Sentinel — a nonprofit newsroom spotlighting lived experiences and stories absent from mainstream media
The platform is supported by its nonprofit sister organization, The Yuvoice Sentinel, which runs community moderator training, algorithm research and development, and one of the world’s largest citizen journalism networks. Together, they represent a comprehensive rethinking of what social media can be when it is designed around purpose rather than profit from attention.
“Everyone wants to change the world, but they think it’s difficult and thankless. Yuvoice makes activism possible and profitable.”
