Washington Center for Equitable Growth

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.

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.
