OVER THE EDGE HOSTS URBAN RAPPELLING EVENTS THAT HELP NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS RAISE FUNDS!

Paul Griffith is the Founder of Over The Edge Global, a pioneering special events company that delivers thrilling urban rappelling experiences across North America, Europe, and New Zealand. With deep roots in adventure sports and a passion for social impact, Paul has helped nonprofit organizations raise more than $155 million for causes that matter.

A social entrepreneur and visionary leader, Paul and his team created an entirely new fundraising category—turning the idea of adventure-based philanthropy into a global movement. What began as a single local event has grown into an international enterprise that continues to redefine experiential giving.

Under his leadership, Over The Edge has remained true to its values of adventure, pride, and passion, while establishing a sustainable and profitable business that employs more than 50 full-time, part-time, and casual team members around the world. The company’s global operations are headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Paul resides part of the year.

A lifelong learner, Paul actively pursues both formal and experiential education. He earned his ICD.D designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors in 2016 and joined the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) in 2017, serving in numerous leadership roles locally and nationally.

Paul is deeply committed to giving back to the communities where he works, lives, and plays. He has served as a National Board Member for Kids Help Phone and was honored to act as National Chair for the inaugural Kids Help Phone Foundation. He also chairs the Griffith Family Foundation and previously served six years on the Make-A-Wish Atlantic Board of Directors.

An enthusiastic advocate for entrepreneurship—especially among students, Paul continues to support the next generation of changemakers as a member of the Peter Thomas GSEA Foundation Board of Directors.
