Roosevelt Institute

Grounded in the legacy of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the Roosevelt Institute is both a leading economic and social policy think tank and home to scholars, public intellectuals, policy experts, and one of the nation’s largest student policy networks. Through research, advocacy, and communications, the institute has helped change the conversation around power and inequality, and drive increasing recognition of the need to rebalance power in the structures of our economy and democracy. This grant supports the Roosevelt Society project that will build an ideological home for the next generation of leaders in political economy. (Substrategy: Executive Branch)

The Roosevelt Institute is a leading think tank that brings together macroeconomic, labor, climate, and industrial policy expertise. This grant will allow Roosevelt to expand efforts in (a) providing research and leadership; (b) engaging a network of partners across issue silos; (c) supporting staffing for effective governance; (d) engaging elite media and key thinkers to shape the narrative; and (e) educating policymakers on implementation of historic federal investments to support decarbonization and to build a more equitable economy.

The Roosevelt Institute works to advance an economic agenda that tackles concentrated wealth and power; strengthens the countervailing power of workers and communities; and reimagines public power as essential to supporting economic security and shared prosperity in ways that markets, when left alone, never will. This work is especially critical in this moment of crisis, which calls for both immediate relief and for long-term structural solutions. By combining thoughtful research and analysis with strategic communications and partnerships, the institute develops and promotes new economic thinking and policy ideas aimed at building toward a more resilient, just, and sustainable future.
