About Us

Viziune îndrăzneață. Conducere neînfricată.
Acțiune transformatoare.

Istorie

PVBLIC Foundation was founded in November 2011 with a mission to harness media, data, and technology not just to address specific challenges but to help solve global problems, fostering sustainable development and profound social impact. Officially established in 2012, the foundation made its debut to the global community during a seminal TEDx talk on March 30 of that year, marking a significant milestone in its ambitious journey.

 

Incorporated in New York, PVBLIC rapidly distinguished itself as a beacon of innovative philanthropy, drawing comparisons to the storied legacies of the most respected charitable institutions. Since its inception, PVBLIC Foundation has pioneered initiatives that have reached over a billion people across 125 countries, driving significant actions towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and establishing new standards for cooperation and impact in the philanthropic community.

Misiune

Fundația PVBLIC se confruntă cu neînfricare cu provocările globale, utilizând inovația pentru a debloca soluții inovatoare pe care alții le-ar putea considera imposibile. Misiunea noastră este de a activa și uni factorii de schimbare la nivel global printr-o colaborare solidă, utilizând media, datele și tehnologia pentru a promova dezvoltarea durabilă. Suntem vizionari, transformând viziuni complexe în realități concrete și asigurându-ne că fiecare inițiativă nu este doar inovatoare, ci are și un impact de durată.

Viziune

Viziunea noastră întruchipează o planetă sustenabilă, modelată prin parteneriate strategice și inovație transformatoare. În calitate de vizionari în domeniul sustenabilității și dezvoltării, elaborăm strategii inovatoare care integrează acțiuni pe termen scurt cu obiective pe termen lung. Fundația PVBLIC este dedicată redefinirii domeniului de aplicare al posibilului, transformând provocările în oportunități pentru schimbarea globală prin colaborare dedicată și planificare strategică.

Our Commitments

Building Systems, Sustaining Impact, Catalyzing Systems Change


As PVBLIC transitions institutionally, we uphold four enduring commitments that guide every aspect of our operations, ensuring alignment with sovereign needs, multilateral goals, and long-term public benefit. These are not operational preferences — they are foundational to everything we build, finance, and steward:
 

  • Sustainable Development: We build resilient systems that foster sustainable development, emphasizing local ownership, sovereign capacity, and global sustainability goals that extend beyond traditional economic measures.

  • Long-Term Partnerships: Our partnerships with sovereigns, multilateral institutions, and family offices are designed for systemic change — emphasizing scalability, durability, and shared long-term objectives.

  • Strategic Facilitation: We serve as a neutral facilitator, bringing together public, private, and philanthropic actors to align on purpose, execute with fiduciary rigor, and deliver measurable outcomes.

  • Global Collaboration: We sustain a global network of mission-driven leaders and institutions committed to scaling solutions, accelerating systemic change, and building resilient, future-ready societies.
     

These commitments ensure that PVBLIC’s architecture — from capital platforms to sovereign data systems — remains resilient, adaptable, and fit for both today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.

Our Values

PVBLIC Foundation’s work is guided by a clear set of values that inform every decision, system, partnership, and platform. These principles ensure that we operate not only with technical rigor, but with ethical clarity, strategic foresight, and a commitment to enduring impact.

 

  • Fearless: We pursue challenges that may seem unattainable to others, recognizing that true leadership requires the courage to innovate, transform systems, and act ahead of consensus.

  • Innovative: We embed creativity and systems-thinking into everything we design — from program architecture to capital frameworks — ensuring every initiative strengthens resilience and global relevance.

  • Collaborative: We believe collaboration across sectors, regions, and disciplines is essential. We build platforms and partnerships rooted in shared governance, mutual respect, and collective ownership of outcomes.

  • Visionary: We design for the future, not the moment — crafting solutions with imagination, long-term systems foresight, and a commitment to building resilience across generations.

  • Strategic: Every initiative is aligned to clear objectives, multilateral mandates, and sovereign goals. We prioritize action that strengthens governance, scales systems, and sustains impact over time.
