Proximity, Power and Compassion: Building Participatory Investing in NYC and Beyond

​Join us for a summit on the future of participatory investing, hosted by Proximate in partnership with Common Future, New Economy Project and NYU Wagner.

​At Proximate, we believe capital should move at the speed of trust. This fall, we’re piloting the first of a series of cross-sectoral convenings on the future of participatory investing.

​Our guiding question: how can capital be governed by, for, and with the communities most impacted by extractive economic systems? Together we’ll explore what it takes to build lasting infrastructure for compassionate, community-led capital – grounding the conversation in New York City – in one of the most dynamic and unequal financial hubs in the world.

​This event is first and foremost a space to connect with peers – practitioners, storytellers, and strategists who are working toward a new economy. Our purpose is to meet others in this field, hear what they’re learning and experimenting with, and lay the groundwork for new collaborations.
