Championing innovative solutions
America Forward unites social entrepreneurs with policymakers to advance a public policy agenda that fosters innovation, rewards results, and catalyzes cross-sector partnerships to advance opportunity for all.
The America Forward Coalition
For more than 15 years, America Forward has led the America Forward Coalition, a collective advocacy network of 100+ of our nation’s most impactful and innovative non-governmental organizations. Working together, we develop and advocate for more effective public policies in early child care and learning, K-12 and post-secondary education, youth mental health and well-being, economic mobility and workforce development, evidence-based policy and social innovation, national service and civic participation.
Together, the Coalition has leveraged over $2 billion in public funding for evidence-based social innovation, driven millions of public resources toward programs that achieve measurable results for children, workers, and families.. Our Coalition members are achieving measurable outcomes in more than 15,000 communities across the country every day, touching the lives of nearly 9 million Americans each year. Through strategic advocacy and innovative policy approaches, our Coalition members are transforming local results into national change that propels all of America forward.
