Our Supporters

The Economic Security Project (ESP) advocates for ideas that build economic power for all Americans. Our playbook – which we call ideas advocacy – is designed to take transformative ideas that are on the margins and bring them into the mainstream of the public debate and into the lives of people. We provoke the existing conventional wisdom to shift what’s considered possible, legitimize the ideas by supporting cutting-edge research and elevating champions, and win concrete policy victories for the communities. We create the environment for these ideas to take root by changing narratives, organizing to win and passing public policies to guarantee economic stability.
With the philanthropic support of generous individuals, foundations and other partners, we are able to advance our mission to fight to build an economy that delivers for all Americans. We are proud to recognize our supporters that gave $5,000 or more to further Economic Security Project’s programs in 2024.
