Overview
Over the past thirty years, economic inequality in the United States has returned to levels last seen in the 1920s. The Washington Center for Equitable Growth, a new research and grantmaking organization, was recently founded to accelerate cutting-edge analysis into whether and how structural changes in the U.S. economy, particularly related to inequality, affect economic growth. Core to its mission is building a stronger bridge between academics and policymakers to ensure that new research is relevant, accessible, and informative to the policymaking process. The Center will elevate what is known from currently available research, while simultaneously encouraging new investigation into the role of inequality—and the policies that address it—in our economy.

The Washington Center for Equitable Growth is a nonprofit research and grantmaking organization that advances evidence-based ideas and policies that promote strong, stable, and broad-based economic growth. The center works to determine how rising economic inequality, declining economic mobility, and persistent institutional racism in the U.S. affect economic growth and stability. A core part of its mission is to build a bridge between academics and policymakers to ensure that research on equitable growth and inequality is relevant, accessible, and informs the policymaking process.
for general operating support
The Washington Center for Equitable Growth is a nonprofit research and grantmaking organization dedicated to advancing evidence-backed ideas and policies that promote strong, stable, and broad-based economic growth. It seeks to broaden the impact of funded and network research by serving as a credible, go-to resource for policymakers and journalists on topics related to economic and racial inequality and growth and stability. This is achieved by supporting and building a growing community of scholars who pursue critical economic questions of our time, and driving the economic policy agenda toward addressing key economic issues, ensuring that the academic research is accessible and relevant to policy debates that address economic inequality in the U.S. economy.
