About Results for America
This virtual workshop is designed and led by Results for America (RFA), a non-profit organization with a mission to make investing in what works the “new normal” so that government decision makers use evidence and data to increase the impact of the over $2 trillion that governments spend each year to open opportunities and advance economic mobility. We do this work confidentiality, objectively, and independently. RFA has never applied for any government funds – we also have never requested or received any funds from government grantees.
Over the last several years, RFA has successfully run various local, state, and federal government capacity building programs, supporting over 100 jurisdictions in implementing evidence-based solutions and benchmarking their progress towards better outcomes for their communities.
