Who We Are

Partners for a New Economy is an international philanthropic fund. Together, we fund work to cultivate an economy that serves people and nature, now and for future generations. We were founded in 2015 by the MAVA, Oak, Marisla and KR Foundations, to address the root causes of environmental degradation that lie within our economic system. The partnership has grown and we welcome further support from Seedling Foundation, Ford Foundation plus Laudes and Regenerative Foundations.

What We Fund

Our grant-making aims to cultivate the conditions for economic systems change in Europe. Focused on redefining the purpose of the economy, reimagining economic governance, and building stronger collective power,  the organisations we fund push the frontiers of alternative economic thinking and work to change the rules, goals, and mindsets underpinning our current economic system.
