Economic growth has significantly improved living standards over the past few centuries. But too often, complex regulatory frameworks and slow-moving institutions unintentionally create barriers that drive up costs and slow innovation.
We believe that changes in the political environment have created an opening for a renewed policy focus on economic growth and material progress in leading economies like the United States. By working to remove artificial constraints in key sectors and foster a more dynamic innovation ecosystem, we aim to create conditions for human flourishing and material prosperity.
Our grantmaking addresses these challenges through policy advocacy, research, and movement-building across several key areas:
Housing policy reform , supporting YIMBY (“yes in my backyard”) advocates who have secured significant wins in cities across the U.S.
Innovation policy , funding organizations that identify and implement ideas to accelerate scientific and technological development.
The Abundance and Progress Studies movements , fostering cross-partisan collaboration among policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists focused on removing barriers to human flourishing.
Energy abundance , supporting new policy ideas that make it easier to build the infrastructure underlying abundant clean energy.
Emerging opportunities in areas like clinical trial reform and increasing state capacity.
