We offer three levels of engagement and contribution, designed to make P4NE partnership accessible to a wide range of funders.

Board Partners attend Board meetings, both online and in person, and collectively approve grant proposals put forward by the P4NE team.

Circle Partners shape our funding priorities and attend Board meetings in an observer capacity. 

Network Partners join as supportive ecosystem partners, participate in our community of practice, and contribute to specific initiatives.

 

We work with a wide network of donors and funding organisations to collaborate and share learning. We are members of Philea (Philanthropy Europe Association), ACF (The Association of Charitable Foundations UK),WINGS ,and EDGE Funders.

Throughout the year, we run a programme of funder-focused events to expand knowledge of new economic thinking and practice, including:

  • Funder Learning Workshops
  • Online Salons featuring expert new economy thinkers
  • The New Economy Funder Exchange, an in-person event for our funder community
  • Our Annual Gathering, where funders can meet organisations delivering new economy work

 

If you are a funder and would like to find out more about our work and the new economy field, we would love to connect.

Funding Partners

We were founded in 2015 by the MAVA, Oak, Marisla and KR Foundations. Over the past decade, our collaborative has grown significantly. Our Funding Partners see that our current economic system is the root cause of many environmental and social crises. Deeply committed, they recognise that philanthropy can play a vital role in supporting a new economic vision, and building the power to redesign the economy so that all life can thrive.
