Systemic change. True impact. Those are the outcomes over which we obsess. We look at every product and service we offer and constantly ask if it can be better, or more efficient, or more cost-effective; we do this by using data we collect from clients and by studying best practices nationwide and around the world. Poverty in America is challenging to overcome: five decades after the War on Poverty was launched, the number of those living in poverty has barely budged, and the gap between the wealthy and the poor has exploded. Solving such an endemic problem requires fresh thinking, dedication and an ability to be self-critical. This is the attitude we bring to our work, and we leverage every dollar donated or lent to us, every Facebook or Twitter follower, every reader of our blog, to the maximum extent possible. Because at the end of the day, it’s going to take all of us working together to create a poverty-free America. Let’s get to work.
