Our charities
Five charities.Founded by Blake.Built to give back.
Everything Blake builds is meant to make these possible. All five are being set up now, and their names are working names until they are registered.
Our charities
What all of
it is for.
Blake founds five charities, and each one feeds the others. Casa builds homes and the communities around them. Ark gives the animals we abandon a second chance and pushes to change the rules that let it keep happening. Atlas opens education to anyone, wherever they live. Amplify finds the people doing good in the world and makes sure others hear about them. And Virtue connects every Christian group and denomination into one network.
Blake founds them, funds them and runs their back office. Each will be its own not-for-profit organisation, so it answers to its purpose rather than to the group.
01Working name
Casa
Homes and communities
Safe, lasting places to live for people who need one, and the community around them.
Shelter built into Ascendia's developments: somewhere to sleep safely, shower, keep belongings and hold an address while getting back on your feet, with a path into Atlas. In time, homes and whole communities.

02Working name
Ark
Animal rescue, rehoming and welfare law
A second chance for homeless and surrendered animals, and a push to stop the abandonment that fills shelters.
Care and rehoming now, with technology from Cinova where it helps, and a louder voice on the rules around abandonment and breeding that let the problem keep growing.

03Working name
Atlas
Education open to everyone
Education anyone can reach, whatever they earn and wherever they live.
The Five Books: money, body, learning, the world, and science and maths, written for anyone, anywhere. And a ladder that turns study into something real: finish the program and you run a book-shelter or food point of your own.

04Working name
Amplify
Telling the stories of people doing good
A production house that puts its cameras on people making the world better and helps them be seen.
People helping people, people cleaning up the ocean and the land, new green energy and health products, and people saving animals and wildlife. Amplify tells their stories and promotes their work, so the good spreads.

05Working name
Virtue
Connecting the Christian church
One network for every Christian group and denomination, so they can find each other, gather and grow together.
A map of churches and groups around the world, a members portal with every major Bible translation, and a simple way for groups to reach each other. A man from a group on the Gold Coast travelling to Melbourne finds one near where he is staying, and meets them while he is there.

How the cycle works
- 01
Casa gives people a safe place to live, built with the know-how Ascendia brings to the group.
- 02
Atlas reaches the people in those communities first, and then everyone else.
- 03
Ark works alongside: pet-friendly housing, rehoming, and teaching responsible ownership through Atlas.
- 04
Amplify tells the stories of all three, and of people outside the group doing the same work, which brings volunteers, partners and support.
- 05
Virtue connects churches and Christian groups everywhere to that work, so the people it moves have somewhere to gather, serve and belong.
More attention and more support mean more homes, and the cycle starts again.
