Proximate

Proximate is a media platform that aims to amplify and connect movements for new models of participatory problem-solving.

Proximate is an independent media platform covering movements for participatory problem-solving. We look at the news through the lens of money: how it’s given away, how it’s invested, and how it’s distributed by government.
We are a fiscally sponsored project of Movement Strategy Center.
