We embrace research from many different paths of study and topic areas. We focus on work that expands economic opportunity to reduce poverty, that reduces educational disparities to promote social mobility, and that addresses the health consequences of poverty. The areas below provide a comprehensive collection of research, data tools, policy briefs and more in many of the priority areas we’re working on now.
We look for ways to intervene in systems that don't function as they should for people with low incomes, whether it be through small scale, community-focused projects, or large-scale policy change.
