Arnold Ventures

Founded in 2010 by Laura and John Arnold, Arnold Ventures is a philanthropy dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans through evidence-based policy solutions that maximize opportunity and minimize injustice.

We focus on broken systems where outcomes are falling short, incentives are misaligned, and the time is right for change. We fund research to better understand the root causes of problems and build evidence about what works and what doesn't to inform policy solutions. We advocate for policy reforms at all levels of government and build durable, bipartisan coalitions to drive lasting change and impact.

We believe philanthropy is uniquely positioned to take risks and make big bets in ways the public and private sectors are often unable or unwilling to do. We approach philanthropy as an engine for innovation that can help catalyze new solutions and advocate for public policies that maximize opportunity and minimize injustice for all.
