We’re Proximate – an independent media outlet covering movements for participatory problem-solving.
Launched in October 2023, our mission is to make sense of this global moment of turbulence through the lens of money and power - how money is given away, how it’s invested, and how it is distributed by governments domestically and internationally.
We’re interested in models that shift decision-making power to people with lived experience – those proximate to the problem
How money moves within specific ecosystems and geographies.

We subscribe to standards of editorial independence adopted by the Institute for Nonprofit News:
Our organization retains full authority over editorial content to protect the best journalistic and business interests of our organization. We maintain a firewall between news coverage decisions and sources of all revenue. Acceptance of financial support does not constitute implied or actual endorsement of donors or their products, services or opinions.
We accept gifts, grants and sponsorships from individuals and organizations for the general support of our activities, but our news judgments are made independently and not on the basis of donor support.
Our organization may consider donations to support the coverage of particular topics, but our organization maintains editorial control of the coverage. We will cede no right of review or influence of editorial content, nor of unauthorized distribution of editorial content.
We're always looking for values-aligned partners to help resource our work and expand our impact.
