FEST
Financing Systemic Transformation: organizing whole ecosystems to enable finance to serve transformation.
Born from practitioners, community leaders, and funders who need finance to work differently. Originated as Working Group 11 of Catalyst 2030, a global network of social entrepreneurs. Now independent, fiscally sponsored by the Buckminster Fuller Institute.
FEST connects ecosystem stewards, philanthropic funders, institutional investors, finance practitioners, narrative leaders, and systems weavers, the full range of roles that financing ecosystems require.
