Sabayan is a get-it-done-well powerhouse.

Its namesake is rooted in two Tagalog meanings: sabayan, to do together, and sa bayan, the people.


We get the work done because we’re born from a nation of dreamweavers, doers, and defiers who transform ideas into action. 

 

We're not here to play the game; we're here to change the rules.


We stand out and stand up for others because we're tired of sitting on the sidelines. Working with Sabayan means living a purpose-rooted life by activating talents, stretching to grow, and creating smart solutions.


Sabayan's crafted solutions are built from lived experience, research-informed data, and inclusive practices.

Together, let’s transform ideas into action. 


Impact Stories

Rominna is a rare one.

She taught me how to see problems from different perspectives, and the power and necessity of prioritizing good working relationships. It's rare and refreshing to work with someone who really listens, and cares as deeply as Rominna does about both the final product and the process of creating it.

Rominna leads in complexity.

Our evolution into stronger antiracist stances, inclusive and bias-mitigated hiring practices, securing funds, the way we hold more authentic conversations about our leadership through the lens of our intersectional identities—all of these were brought into stronger focus because of Rominna's incredible leadership.

Rominna has an artist eye and a storyteller mind.

Rominna's keen ability to translate complex ideas into clear, cogent products elevated our communications, and brand overall, during an important time of significant growth. Rominna led the way in asking important questions, offering facilitation skills and resources, and making space for reflection and conversation.

It is possible to lead with your head and your heart.
