The Public Finance Initiative (PFI) is a non-profit that specializes in developing public finance programs that center the values of equity, sustainability, and inclusive growth in fiscal decision-making with leading foundations & partners. PFI is the successor entity to The Civic Innovation Project (CIP) - an organization founded in 2015 to develop and host joint programs that would further city-to-city learning and build the capacity of governments to use technology and data to improve governance and decision-making.
