​About GFNE

​The Global Fund for a New Economy (GFNE) designs and resources what comes next. Around the world, inequality, ecological collapse, and democratic erosion make clear that today’s economy is failing to meet society’s needs. GFNE mobilizes resources, ideas, and leadership to power a global movement for systemic economic transformation. We connect visionary funders and changemakers who understand that this moment calls for transformation—not incremental reform.

​We envision a global economy grounded in equity, sustainability, and shared prosperity — one that centers people and the planet. In this new economy, economic policy serves the public good, markets spur innovation not extraction, and those long excluded from decision-making have a real voice in shaping the future. It enables communities to thrive, societies to stay inclusive, and our global system to confront today’s intertwined crises — climate change, inequality, and authoritarianism.
