Government programs like unemployment insurance, Medicaid, and SNAP all dramatically reduce poverty and boost outcomes across generations – but $80 billion in public benefits go unused by eligible people each year. That’s why we’re launching the Benefits Access and Equity Initiative, a five-year, $45+ million philanthropic effort to significantly improve access to and delivery of poverty-reducing benefits across the U.S. Through pooled philanthropic investments, we will activate and grow a network of innovative nonprofit, tech, and government agency partners to help deliver $3.5 billion in public benefits to 1.5 million people over the next five years. If you’re a funder working on tech, poverty, children and family issues, hunger and nutrition, economic opportunity, or any related mission, we invite you to join us! https://lnkd.in/g7KZB_sz
