Description
NoVo Foundation is dedicated to catalyzing a transformation in global society, moving from a culture of domination to one of equality and partnership.
It supports the development of capacities in people—individually and collectively—to help create a caring and balanced world. It envisions a world that operates on the principles of mutual respect, collaboration, and civic participation, thereby reversing the old paradigm predicated on hierarchy, violence, and the subordination of girls and women.
It avoid top-down models for the improvement of societies, but devote ourselves instead to an earnest search for fresh ideas that show unusual promise for significant impact.
It is willing to venture where others are reluctant to go; it remains patient in developing sustainable solutions; and it wish to convene diverse stakeholders to address common challenges. It seeks out these ideas from both traditional and non-traditional sources, including academic research and conversations with grassroots organizers.
NoVo Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals or requests for funding. Instead, it invests in a set of well-defined strategic initiatives, with non-profit and funder-partners, in ways that work to accomplish goals towards a larger vision.
