Overview
Race Forward (formerly known as the Applied Research Center) was founded in 1981 as an initiative to bridge efforts between analysts and activists by working with community groups, government, and national organizations to develop and implement policy ideas. The Center for Social Inclusion was founded in 2002 to partner with communities in the development of transformative policy solutions, to dismantle structural racism, and catalyze racial equity across institutions. In 2017, these two organizations merged to form the new Race Forward, thus increasing capacity and scale. Its combined mission is to catalyze movement building for racial justice. In partnership with communities, organizations, and sectors, Race Forward builds strategies to advance racial justice in its policies, institutions, and culture.
