Solutions to our country's most pressing challenges do exist. But even the most promising strategies can't reach far enough, fast enough without significant resources. At Blue Meridian, we seek to transform the philanthropic marketplace, maximizing the impact of collaborative investing to improve the life trajectories of millions of young people and families across America. By pooling resources from multiple philanthropists, we unlock significant capital—enabling us to make large, multi-year investments in strategies that increase economic and social mobility in the US. Beyond the dollars, we provide our investees with strategic advice and capacity-building support, from collaborating on their growth plans to advising on building their evidence base and identifying measures of impact.

Blue Meridian Partners scales solutions that increase economic & social mobility for young people & families in poverty
Über uns
Blue Meridian Partners is a pioneering philanthropic model for finding and funding scalable solutions to the problems that limit economic and social mobility for America’s young people and families in poverty. We know solutions exist, but even the most promising strategies cannot reach far enough, fast enough without significant resources. Hence, we bring philanthropists together to pool capital and scale solutions that target drivers of poverty from cradle to career. We operate with an investor mindset but measure success in terms of social impact. Viewing our grants as “investments,” we provide the flexible, transformative capital that visionary social sector leaders need to dream bigger and pursue long-term change. Beyond dollars, we provide critical capacity- and evidence-building support as well as strategic advice. Understanding economic mobility and racial equity are inextricably linked, we invest in strategies that work to dismantle structural inequities that have long excluded Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other people of color from power and opportunity. We remain responsive to evolving challenges, while constantly exploring new collaborations. Ultimately, we want to transform the philanthropic marketplace and improve the life trajectories of millions of young people and families across America.

Today, PRI works with leaders in rural places to identify and fill in the gaps in educational, medical, and social services to support young people from cradle to career. But to get here required growth, partnership-building, and belief in the power of place-based work. Read more about how and why we are building partnerships to bring our cradle to career, place-based approach to rural communities across the country in this new article from The Chronicle of Philanthropy: https://lnkd.in/eQ8dpBRU
