Purpose Foundation is a platform for incubating equitable, inclusive institutional models.
Our Mission
Our mission is to build a more just economy by rewriting the rules of who benefits and controls assets in the economy. We do this by creating new shared ownership models that move capital into the service of people, planet and community for the long-term.
“The impossible attracts me, because everything possible has been done and the world didn't change.”
– Sun Ra
