What You Can Do

Thank you for considering a P/PV donation today. Your gift will expand the reach of P/PV's mission to improve the effectiveness of social programs, policies and initiatives in low-income communities across the United States. Your donation will fuel three specific areas of our work:

Advancing new social innovations
P/PV examines some of the nation's most entrenched social problems where simple solutions are lacking yet emerging social innovations hold great promise—and merit careful examination. We focus most carefully on challenging issues that are most prevalent in poor communities, such as school dropout, violence and joblessness. Your donation will allow us to engage in critical planning work to design and advance promising new initiatives, often before philanthropic and public funders make significant investments.

Influencing public policy
Influencing public policy and practice hinges on ensuring that P/PV's messages are clear, well targeted and heard by many audiences, including the media, academics and advocacy groups, as well as practitioners, philanthropists and policymakers. Your gift will help to increase our effectiveness in communicating the key lessons of our work and expand our web presence and technological capacity.

Supporting public projects
P/PV partners with federal, state and local governments to pilot new program models, research promising innovations and provide training and technical assistance to some of the nation's most promising publicly funded initiatives Individual donations help P/PV to underwrite the cost our involvement in this important public work.
