Programs that build stronger communities

Fairness and safety are necessary for communities to thrive. We treat these as a single mission through programs like strategic grantmaking and apprenticeships that create direct career pathways for justice-impacted people.

Funding a fairer, safer world

Our grantmaking is built on two pillars that support the long-term stability of communities: advancing economic mobility for those with a record and protecting the most vulnerable from digital exploitation.

The Catalyst Apprenticeship Program

A multi-employer initiative pairing 12-month paid apprenticeships with on-the-job training and mentorship. It gives justice-impacted people a real foothold in the professional workforce and employers a proactive pathway into fair chance hiring.

Building the evidence base for safety

Effective policy and intervention rely on accurate data. We’re investing in research to measure the true scope of fraud and exploitation in America. By building the evidence base that advocates and policymakers need to act, we're turning data into initiatives that create a safer future.

The Gallup Research Initiative

A national study of more than 5,000 Americans measuring the impact of fraud and scams. Conducted in early 2026, the study examines 2025 incidents of scamming to build a clearer picture of who is most affected, how much they lose, and what interventions work.
