What Funders Are Saying

“Proximate’s work is really exciting. It can be very hard to figure out how to apply participatory models to traditional structures and to really give people power to make decisions.

I feel blessed to be able to support people who are putting these ideas into practice – who bring a critique, but are trying to figure out real solutions.”

- Brian Fernandes-Halloran, Executive Director, Halloran Philanthropies

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.
