The Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality (GCPI) is a research center that generates policy solutions to improve the lives of people experiencing poverty in the United States. Collaborating with government and movement leaders, we provide timely, evidenced-based ideas to impact decision-making, increase economic well-being, and advance racial and gender equity.

We equip policymakers with research and analysis as they create and implement solutions to improve the lives of people experiencing poverty–or push back against harmful proposals. We collaborate directly with government administrators and policymakers on policy design ideas to find ways to make steady progress and move big ideas forward. These contributions lend credibility and specificity to movement efforts to support families experiencing poverty and hardship, particularly women of color, who are the most economically harmed and excluded in the U.S.

Our work ensures that policy actions are informed by the lived experiences of people experiencing poverty. Together, we’re building a future free from poverty, grounded in opportunity for all.

If you share our commitment to economic, racial, and gender equity, consider applying for one of our open positions.
