Overview
The Inclusive Prosperity project, a loose network of 12 to 15 economists, is unified by a belief that imbalances in economic power are an important source of distortions in the economy. Spurred by this, the project is converting short, 10-page papers into a coedited volume and will host a conference. If successful, the project may expand the network and form an important intellectual counterweight to the perception that economics is merely a handmaiden to laissez-faire ideology. This supplemental grant covers various changes and additions to the project, including a major convening at Harvard University.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership
This grant supports the creation of the Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership at UC Berkeley. Impact CFO will create a pipeline for senior finance professionals in the social sector who will manage the growing complexity of nonprofit finance, serve on leadership teams, and lead organizations to financial sustainability. Impact CFO is a program of the center whose mission is to prepare a new generation of cross-sector leaders with the practical skills to tackle complex global challenges and achieve social impact.
for support of the Othering and Belonging Institute
The Othering and Belonging Institute (OBI) at the University of California, Berkeley, advances research, policy, and ideas that examine and remediate the processes of exclusion, marginalization, and structural inequality (“othering”) in order to build a world based on inclusion, fairness, justice, and care for the earth (“belonging”). Belonging, as OBI defines it, means having a meaningful voice and the opportunity to participate in the design of political, social, and cultural structures that shape one’s life — the right to both contribute to and make demands upon society and political institutions. At its core, structural belonging holds a radically inclusive vision because it requires mutual power, access, and opportunity among all groups and individuals within a shared container. This grant will enable OBI to deepen its efforts.
for support of Just Education Policy: An Institute for Developing Scholars
Just Education Policy: An Institute for Developing Scholars is a research collaborative at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Education. It brings together education policy researchers who are committed to preparing and supporting early-career scholars of education policy. This program grant will enable and support the growth of this institute. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
