Our Bold Vision for a Better City

We believe New York City can be safer, healthier, and more just—but only if we fund change differently.
NYC Equity Forward uses two powerful, proven tools to solve our city’s toughest problems:

🟩 Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)
We bring in private capital—not tax dollars—to pay for programs that work. If the solution fails? No payout. If it succeeds? We all win.
Accountability meets innovation.

🟦 Community Endowments
Like a college fund for the city. It grows over time and supports housing, healthcare, and equity programs for decades to come.

Generational impact starts now.

We're not here to patch broken systems. We're here to build better ones—with the people, for the people.
