Brink Foundation
In the world of international grantmaking the crucial decisions about how much funding flows to what and where is often decided by a privileged few who are located half the world away.
At Brink we believe that how money is designed and what gets invested in and what scales matters.
When we look around and see what has been funded and scaled, it’s obvious that there’s work that needs doing to make fairer and more equitable funding systems.
This matters to us because we see missed opportunities to innovate and have impact. We set up Brink Foundation to play our part in a better reality. With a Foundation, we are able to be both a grant recipient and grant-maker.
Brink has long worked to design and implement grant funds through accelerator and innovation programmes, and our Foundation will allow us to take this further and become the grant-maker. We're very excited and hopeful about what we’ll be able to do through new partnerships.
We’re asking:
How might we unite fragmented players and use funding to spark uncommon partnerships?
What’s the best way to mix funds to invest in single point solutions and technologies alongside policy and other enabling elements?
What is the next generation financial instrument, bond, prize or microcredit?
Can we prove the value of trust-based, bottom up power flips?
