About NPi

The New Prosperity Initiative (NPi) is a Boston-based media organization that publicizes the efforts of people and organizations doing socially innovative work to end poverty and build prosperity. NPi stories take the shape of interviews, photo essays, videos, and podcasts and are distributed both in print and online. NPi connects community leaders in order to build a network of ideas and solutions that bring the best models, strategies, and leadership qualities to the places that need them most. NPi also hosts community dialogues for local leaders to discuss lessons learned, current projects, and potential collaborations.

At the core of NPi are its two founders: Jeanne Dasaro and Alexis Schroeder. For more detailed information about NPi, be sure to check out our frequently asked questions page.
