  • Program 1 [2018]

    FINANCIAL INSECURITY IS PERVASIVE AND OFTEN STYMIES MANY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FROM FULLY AND EFFECTIVELY SERVING THEIR COMMUNITIES. FEW ORGANIZATIONS HAVE THE EXPERTISE, SUPPORT, OR RESOURCES TO FULLY ADDRESS THEIR CUSTOMERS' FINANCIAL INSECURITY. THE CLINIC HAS CREATED THE FINANCIAL SECURITY ECOSYSTEM OR "ECOSYSTEM," A HOLISTIC PARTNERSHIP APPROACH THAT BUILDS FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR THE WORKING POOR AT SCALE AND ACCELERATES SECTOR-SPECIFIC MISSIONS AND OUTCOMES. BORROWING A POPULAR METAPHOR FROM THE HIGH-TECH SECTOR, "BUSINESS ECOSYSTEMS" LEVERAGE THE POWER OF CONNECTIONS, COLLABORATIONS, AND CONTINUOUS EVOLUTION TO CREATE AND CAPTURE NEW VALUE, THUS ADVANCING NOT ONLY OUR VISION AND OUR PARTNERS' UNIQUE MISSIONS, BUT THE ANTI-POVERTY FIELD AS A WHOLE. THIS COMPLETE BUNDLE OF THE CLINIC'S BEST PRACTICES AND SERVICES IS DESIGNED TO SEAMLESSLY COLLABORATE WITH A PARTNER ORGANIZATION'S EXISTING SERVICES THROUGH CAPACITY BUILDING, DIRECT SERVICES AND LASTING CHANGE - SEAMLESSLY CONNECTED THROUGH THE USE OF CHANGE MACHINE.

  • Program 3 [2018]

    BASED ON WHAT WE LEARN FROM OUR ON-THE-GROUND WORK WITH THOUSANDS OF WORKING POOR PEOPLE EACH YEAR, WE RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND ADVOCATE FOR POLICY REFORMS AND SYSTEMIC CHANGES THAT WILL REMOVE OBSTACLES TO FINANCIAL SECURITY. WE BUILD COALITIONS AND PARTNER WITH ADVOCACY GROUPS, RESEARCHERS, THINK-TANKS, PRACTITIONERS, AND EVEN STATE AND FEDERAL POLICYMAKERS TO GUIDE AND SUPPORT OUR POLICY AGENDA. WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST ECOSYSTEM POLICY AGENDA THAT INCLUDED CHANGES TO THE TAX CODE TO BETTER SUPPORT CAREER MOBILITY, ELIMINATING ASSET LIMITS FOR THOSE ON BENEFITS, AND INCREASING USE OF FINANCIAL TECH FOR WORKING POOR INDIVIDUALS.
