Championing innovative solutions
America Forward is the Washington, DC-based nonpartisan policy initiative of national venture philanthropy fund New Profit that seeks to break down barriers between all people and opportunity in America. America Forward’s mission is to unite social entrepreneurs with policymakers to advance a public policy agenda that champions innovative and effective solutions to our country’s most pressing social problems
The America Forward Coalition
The America Forward Coalition is a network of more than 100 innovative, impact-oriented organizations that foster innovation, identify more efficient and effective solutions, reward results, and catalyze cross-sector partnerships in education, early childhood, workforce development, youth development, and poverty alleviation. Together, the America Forward Coalition members have leveraged $1.7 billion for social innovation and have driven millions of federal resources toward programs that are achieving measurable results for those who need them most. 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. We believe that innovative policy approaches can transform these local results into national change and propel all of America forward.
