Make our money move what matters.
The Horizon Project ADVANCES BOLD POLICIES to ensure public funds serve the public good.
We work with policymakers and constituents to align the management of state funds, including public pensions, with the interests of workers, communities, and the planet. By supporting policy advocacy and the election of state financial officers and legislators dedicated to protecting the future of our communities, we work to move trillions in public investment toward outcomes that benefit everyday people.
Support the WISE Economy
Empower States to Invest for Good
State and local governments control trillions of dollars through public pension funds. That power should serve people, not just billionaire profits. The Workers Investing in a Strong Economy (WISE) Platform is a bold state-level policy being developed by The Horizon Project to redirect public investments toward building community wealth.
what a wise economy does

Affirms and expands the right of money managers to consider worker well-being, equity, and the local economy — not just Wall Street’s bottom line.
FOR COMMUNITIES
Strengthens local economies by supporting investments in affordable housing, public infrastructure, and industries that create good jobs close to home.
FOR THE PLANET
Recognizes that climate risk is financial risk — and empowers pension funds to invest in a livable future.
