Principles & Priorities

Solutions to our nation’s most pressing social problems

Our Policy Principles:

America Forward unites innovative, high-impact organizations with policymakers to identify, catalyze, and support effective and innovative solutions to our nation’s most pressing social problems in the areas of education, economic mobility, and civic participation. We believe in three core principles to propel America Forward:

  • Innovate and Reward What Works
    Social programs should focus on results, recognizing the important roles of innovation, measurement, and competition.
  • Recognize that organizations matter
    Strong organizations create the excellent programs that deliver results.
  • Reach across sectors
    Government should foster social entrepreneurship, engage the private sector, and leverage nonprofit and for-profit action.
