P/PV partners with funders to advance social programs at each stage in their development. From helping to hone promising new concepts to providing technical support and applied research that strengthen existing initiatives, we work with funders to build programs that stand the best chance of affecting change in the lives of the individuals they serve. When models prove successful, we help funders bring them to scale by guiding program expansion and disseminating the lessons that shape smarter government policies and improve practices across the field.
