Meet Arnold Ventures:
Tuesday, April 29, 12pm ET (Zoom)
Arnold Ventures (AV) is a philanthropy dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans through evidence-based policy solutions that maximize opportunity and minimize injustice. AV focuses on improving systems where outcomes are falling short, incentives are misaligned, and the time is right for change in areas including Criminal Justice, Higher Education, Health, Infrastructure, and Public Finance. It funds rigorous research to identify solutions and then advocates for policy reforms at all levels of government to build durable, bipartisan coalitions to drive lasting change and impact.
The Evidence and Evaluation team has been at the forefront of AV’s mission to inform policy solutions through an evidence-based lens. It is driven by the core belief that by increasing the body of evidence about ‘what works’ – while also identifying programs and policies that do not demonstrate impact – it creates opportunities for government to better target limited resources and drive improved outcomes.
Faculty members will learn about program priorities, receive tips for successful submissions, and have a chance to ask questions.
AV does not accept unsolicited proposals but occasionally issues formal Requests for Proposals (RFPs). To help grantseekers through AV’s grantmaking procedures, Andrew Bacher-Hicks, Vice President of Evidence and Evaluation at Arnold Ventures and former Assistant Professor at Wheelock College of Education and Human Development, will provide an in-depth overview of the process, followed by a Q&A session.
