Hinge Mission, Purpose & Impact

Hinge is committed to helping people build meaningful relationships both on and off its platform. Through initiatives like One More Hour, the company invests in community organizations and social groups that create opportunities for connection, belonging and friendship. By supporting efforts to combat loneliness and foster real-world relationships, Hinge extends its mission beyond dating to helping people feel more connected in their everyday lives.

“Last year, One More Hour made a real impact in helping Gen Z build meaningful in-person connections. We saw firsthand how providing funding to social groups gave young people more opportunities to meet, belong, and create lasting friendships. A survey of members from the groups Hinge funded in the U.S. found that 78% joined to meet new people, and 66% said they felt more connected after joining. That’s why we’re so excited to expand One More Hour into London for its second year. By extending our support in the UK, we hope to create more opportunities for young people to connect in real life and help reverse the growing loneliness epidemic.”
