Opportunity Insights Features Marillac Mission Fund
Marillac Mission Fund's Improved Economic Mobility focus area is based on the research of Raj Chetty and his team at Opportunity Insights (Harvard University). The mission of Opportunity Insights (OI) is to identify barriers to economic opportunity and inform scalable solutions that will empower people throughout the United States to rise out of poverty and achieve better life outcomes. They accomplish this mission by conducting interdisciplinary, big data research on the determinants of economic opportunity and translating this research to accessible and relevant public goods to support scalable policy change.
They recently featured Marillac Mission Fund in a report on how communities across the country are using the research to drive impact. We are honored to be recognized and look forward to hearing Raj Chetty speak in St. Louis on October 30th. More information to come soon!
