Our Impact
We’ve built a thriving community of strategists, organizers, researchers, and donors dedicated to putting evidence-based practices into action. As the community’s leading independent research hub, we conduct rigorous research, publish comprehensive learning resources, and support organizations nationwide in learning, adapting, and preparing for what’s ahead.
Each year, we support thousands of people in understanding what strategies and tactics are effective, what big outstanding questions remain, and how we need to innovate next.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Our research team specializes in a range of methods, including:
When strategists need to allocate funds across different tactics, they turn to our research.
When organizers need to understand which outreach methods are most effective, they join our training sessions.
When innovators want to know what questions remain unanswered, they join our community convenings.
And when donors want to invest in evidence-based work, they consult our findings.
We’re the bridge between rigorous research and real-world action—helping organizations and movements work smarter, adapt faster, and achieve their goals.
