Resilient Initiatives

EASE uses its Marketplace with Fund Pools model as the basis for every EASE Initiative. To date, EASE has developed three "Resilient Initiatives," each with a specific area of interest: cities, colleges & universities and youth.

Each Resilient Initiative is established as its own for-profit entity and, therefore, is a suitable vehicle to receive private investment. Licensing and Marketplace activities generate revenues for each Resilient Initiative.

Members can join and participate in these Initiatives by selecting the EASE Change Suite offers most appropriate to their community.
