The Purpose
Partners in Empowerment (PIE) is an ecologically inspired social & economic network united in action for a thriving, socially just future. Whether a media group leads a cause-based marketing campaign to stop AIDS, a university creates greener technology, or an artist inspires a child in need, our impact is greater together.
Showcasing and advancing your solutions to achieve the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – the UN Challenge to Transform the World by 2030; 1PIE (alpha) exists to provide immediate exposure for funders; catalyze synergistic collaboration, and track your progress throughout the year.
The Path
Harnessing local assets to foster economic opportunities and build thriving communities, 7 Stages to Sustainability (7SS) is 1PIE’s unifying road-map for action.
Through 7SS, 1PIE serves as a catalyst for collaborative solutions around the year—empowering multi-sector Partners in Empowerment (PIE) to bring the best of their gifts to the table.

We are looking for Community-based Solutions that:
Transform the root-causes and social conditions of issue addressed
Empower those most impacted by issues at hand to resolve it
Strengthen, build upon, and add value to local resources
*1PIE welcomes Technology, Policy, and On-the-ground solutions by Individuals, Non-profits / NGOs, For-Profits, Governmental Agencies or Hybrid Entities.
