Economic growth has significantly improved living standards over the past few centuries. But too often, complex regulatory frameworks and slow-moving institutions unintentionally create barriers that drive up costs and slow innovation. 

We believe that changes in the political environment have created an opening for a renewed policy focus on economic growth and material progress in leading economies like the United States. By working to remove artificial constraints in key sectors and foster a more dynamic innovation ecosystem, we aim to create conditions for human flourishing and material prosperity.

Our grantmaking addresses these challenges through policy advocacy, research, and movement-building across several key areas: 

  • Housing policy reform, supporting YIMBY (“yes in my backyard”) advocates who have secured significant wins in cities across the U.S.
  • Innovation policy, funding organizations that identify and implement ideas to accelerate scientific and technological development. 
  • The Abundance and Progress Studies movements, fostering cross-partisan collaboration among policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists focused on removing barriers to human flourishing.  
  • Energy abundance, supporting new policy ideas that make it easier to build the infrastructure underlying abundant clean energy.
  • Emerging opportunities in areas like clinical trial reform and increasing state capacity.
