Overview
Inspired by the legacy of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the institute works to "create a nation where everyone enjoys a fair share of our collective prosperity." It maintains two core programs: The Four Freedoms Center think tank and the Campus Network, the nation’s largest student policy network. The former concentrates on "the intersection of structural changes in the economy and the myriad challenges facing low-wage and middle-class workers." The Campus Network and its related Alumni Network of 5,000 members work to develop the next generation of civic leaders—engaging 10,000 students on more than 120 college campuses in 38 states across the country as they construct and pursue policy reforms. This grant will support the institute as it continues to refine and expand these programs.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Roosevelt Society project
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)
for education on federal climate policy, strategy, climate program, communications, and convenings
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. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
for general operating support
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.
