At P4NE, we fund innovative projects and build communities that bring new thinking and approaches to traditional economics.
These “change catalysts” play a pivotal role in helping to repurpose our economic system, and together they’re helping to build a movement for an economic system that’s fit for the challenges of the 21st Century.
We mutualize our risk and support novel ideas and models to increase the likelihood of real change.
We encourage innovative and scalable solutions to deeply rooted problems.
We support collaboration across communities and sectors to foster learning and experimentation.
We bring diverse people together to share their thinking and experiences, building understanding, optimism and trust.
