About Prosperity Now

Prosperity Now works to build a fair and just economy free from structural inequity and racism — an economy where everyone can fully participate across their life cycles and low-income individuals and families can prosper without exception. Founded as CFED in 1979, Prosperity Now recently underwent a strategic planning process to refresh its vision, brand, position, and programming model.
