Arnold Ventures Overview
Arnold Ventures (AV) is a philanthropy that supports research to understand the root causes of America’s most persistent and pressing problems, as well as evidencebased solutions to address them. By focusing on systemic change and bipartisan policy reforms, AV works to improve the lives of American families, strengthen communities, and promote economic opportunity.
We believe the role of philanthropy is to be on the cutting edge and fill the gaps often left by the public and private sectors. Our forward-looking team works alongside a diverse array of partners on the ground to truly understand the causes of an issue before reaching evidence-based, effective policy solutions for measurable impact. Our work is results-oriented, objective, and rooted in rigorous research because we know that is the best way to ensure meaningful and long-lasting change.
Our Commitment
Since Laura and John Arnold launched their foundation in 2008, the philanthropy has expanded, and Arnold Ventures’ focus areas include education, criminal justice, health, infrastructure, and public finance, advocating for bipartisan policy reforms that will lead to lasting, scalable change. They remain the philanthropy’s sole funders and are involved in its day-to-day work.
