A civic nexus for new economics & culture.

UME Foundation is a civic & cultural philanthropic foundation based in the USA (with European branch in development in Denmark), and activated by a private global network that bridges east-and-west, largely focused in Europe, the USA and Asia.

UME Foundation is dedicated towards evolving our Economics, Civics, Health & Culture systems on Earth, with a Long Now integrated & action-oriented view. We do this through investing in R&D, Education & Partnerships, and facilitating the discerned coordination & circulation of Resources (monetary, intellectual & natural). We curate and activate a global trust alliance of our Foundation ambassadors, spaces and technologies to support each initiative.

Foundation Pillars

  • Equitable Economic Systems

    Understanding the root ontology of “value” and the origins of capitalism are the starting point - then how do we re-structure a better evolved system is the next step. We convene and activate a highly-discerned network of ‘new economic design’ leaders - ranging from government to technologists, to thought leaders and advisors, to family offices and dedicated philanthropists and impact investors - and support in the coherent and collective learning, visioning and design of these vital new systems.

  • Civic Regenerative Design & Development

    We see and act on the necessity for the role of the diplomat, lawyers, policy-writers, lobbyists, and country ambassadors working with civic stakeholders (namely at the level of Mayors) at the various trim-tab lever scales: island, small nation, special economic zone, megacity and large country. We support in the co-ordination, bridge-building, vision-aligning and alliance-building between key actors. We do this through specific city/country-specific programs, events and partnerships. We also offer advising on strategy and vision through our UME Advisory operational arm.

  • Quantum Health Research and Innovation

    We collaborate with a global network of ‘integrated health’ clinics & centers, as well as specific mission-aligned doctors & practitioners, that blend and integrate science and data-backed research, clinical trials and intuition medicine, and apply quantum healing technology practices and solutions. We support this ecosystem by showcasing, connecting and testing new integrated systemic solutions that can redefine and resolve our increasingly complex health challenges for humanity.

  • New Education & Arts for All Stages of Life

    What is the “cost” for our mental health and wellbeing of our current poor Education and Arts? What kinds of “structured learning” is worth preserving? How can technology be in highest service to the evolution of consciousness? What is the individual citizens role in contributing to our Education and Arts? What are the patrons, philanthropists and royal lineages role? UME Foundation is dedicated to supporting initiatives focused on exploring and developing these questions through an iterative and developmental role in relationship with mission-aligned organizations who are dedicated to these questions and the highest integrity of practice. We work with leaders in consciousness/mind training, to educational partners developing evolutionary technology platforms for human development.

  • Water Blueprint Fund & Lab

    UME has dedicated to convening and furthering the development of Water as our fundamental civic blueprint for all civic and natural life. For the last 8 years, we have collaborated with existing water-focused networks, funds, non-profits, foundations businesses and R&D labs furthering water technologies at all scales - from consumer to city to country and UN. We are focused on convening the funders passionate about this space and directing R&D with the experts, as well as direct funding towards protection of springs and specific geographies through our Fund and Lab.

  • Decentralized Real Estate & Emergency Relief Fund

    As the world becomes more chaotic and "unstable”, real estate and decentralized ownership allows for deeper civic and cultural resilience, safety and connection. With the increase of climate disasters, we also choose to dedicate a percentage towards emergency climate relief. We scout, activate and help connect a network of curated real estate spaces, directing capital towards mutually beneficial properties, and support micro-finance for emergency relief causes, as needed - all with our core partner DEX and INH, based in the USA. Please inquire for further details.
