About the Organization

We partner with communities, providing resources for projects defined by local leaders to improve the lives and well-being of the people in the community.

Vision

We see a world where every person has the basics for well-being: clean water, good food, housing, health care, safety, education, social activity, and jobs.  We know that the current state of the world represents many unmet needs.  Recognizing the size of the need which seems unlimited, we fund innovative projects of modest scale.  We believe that small change leads to bigger change and is a preferred option to a default acceptance of the status quo.

About the Grant

NextWorldNow (NWN) holds that world communities can work together in an informed and personal way, leveraging technology and resources, to improve the well-being of participants in each community.    

We invest in and support community development projects requiring modest capital.  We fund projects that are owned by the local community, whose social impact and return on investment can be measured, and whose success can be sustained.   In the spirit of innovation, we aim for a diverse "portfolio" of projects and geographies to spread creative solutions. 

We work to discover and apply best practice social investment models on a small scale personal level.  Our process invites ongoing direct connection with the sponsored community rather than an anonymous one-time donation.  We believe it is possible to invest in projects that increase the wellbeing of communities while avoiding unintended harm.   We operate with minimal overhead and a goal of funneling nearly 100% of grant resources to the intended community project. 

NextWorldNow Community Investments (NWN) works with individuals, communities, and other organizations to make this happen. We invite communities with project ideas to submit their requests for funding.  We study the requests and make funding decisions. We welcome scale-able partnerships with other organizations on joint projects.  We invest in solutions built to last, looking beyond short term fixes to address long standing problems.  We continue to refine our process as we learn more about what works and what does not.   NWN is a non profit private foundation with United States 501 (c) (3) status.
