Helping federal agencies and policymakers Invest in What Works
Results for America helps federal government leaders find, fund, and implement solutions that work to accelerate economic opportunity and restore trust in government.
Each year, the federal government awards more than $150 billion in grants meant to improve economic outcomes for Americans, yet less than a quarter of that funding goes to interventions proven to actually work. Voters may disagree on what the federal government should fund, but they agree on this: taxpayer dollars should invest in what works, and when we can make programs work better, we should. The evidence is clear: when decision-makers use more data and evidence in their budget, policy, and program decisions, results improve.
