About Us
Redistributing Wealth, Power, and Opportunity
F4GI is a 501(c)(3) public charity launched in August 2020 to prove a viable path to guaranteed income–direct, recurring cash transfers that support those who have been locked out of welfare programs and economic systems.
By building technical tools and political coalitions, we re-imagine the social safety net.
We partner with governments and communities in the fight for the political and economic liberation of all people.

Collaborating towards a shared vision of liberation
F4GI applies what they learn through a relational approach to a functional system. They look at inequity and people’s lack of access to functional systems. They create community-informed infrastructure.
Lex Steppling,
Campaigns Director, Dignity and Power Now
F4GI is a mission driven, social justice oriented organization that approaches its work with diligence and economic know-how. They combine technical expertise with deep community partnerships because they care about lived experiences and building systems that actually work for people.
Chloe Cockburn,
President, Just Impact Advisors
F4GI brings a radical edge to systems development, which is exactly what’s needed to make guaranteed income a reality for system impacted people in the US.
