ABOUT US
From Global Innovation to Local Intelligence: The Story Behind CommunityAI
OUR JOURNEY
What We Do and Why It Matters
CommunityAI was formed by serial Social Entrepreneur and bought out of the US Broadcaster CBS as Givewith, This became CommunityAI in 2025 and acquired UK-based data firm Yeme Tech along with Right Thing Media. Together, we combine expertise in social value procurement, geospatial intelligence and impact marketing to address complex community challenges.
Our approach is grounded in Paul Polizzotto’s construct defined as Social Value Economics — a model aligning social impact with business growth, now taught at Harvard, Yale, and London Business School, and supported by leaders like Mayor Manny Diaz, Lord Mawson and Professor Ioannis Ioannou.
At its core, CommunityAI uses the tools of business — data, strategy, and performance — to deliver measurable results that uplift communities. This is not charity; it’s a smarter, more sustainable way to create shared value for both business and society.

LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE
A Mayor’s Perspective
As a mayor, I experienced firsthand the financial and social pressures cities face. Public needs keep growing — but the tools and funding to meet them haven’t kept up. Leadership today requires not just ambition, but solutions that work. Practical, data-driven, and scalable.
What excites me about CommunityAI is that it transforms the idea of social impact from a budget drain into a value engine. With smarter technology, we can target need more precisely, act more transparently, and unlock new funding sources — all without raising taxes.
This is a model that redefines what’s possible. It’s not only innovative — it’s necessary.
OUR OUTCOMES
Proven Outcomes. Scalable Impact. A Model Built to Deliver More.
CommunityAI builds on decades of innovation by Paul Polizzotto, whose impact models have already helped generate over $600 million in incremental business growth and directed more than $100 million in funding toward community and environmental initiatives — reaching over 60 million people worldwide.
At a time when the needs of disadvantaged communities are greater than ever, CommunityAI provides a powerful, intelligence-led tool to scale this impact further.
