American Idea Foundation Measuring Results Expanding Opportunity Improving Lives. I founded the American Idea Foundation to make that connection between local organizations who are fighting on the frontlines to improve our communities academics and researchers who can validate and add intellectual heft to these successes and policymakers who have the capacity to scale evidencebased solutions. We have these amazing community leaders and policy entrepreneurs making huge differences in America so lets link them with academics and legislators so we can figure out what works and build solutions from the groundup with evidence and data. This is how we can expand opportunities and the American Dream.
