Arnold Ventures is dedicated to driving sustainable change through evidence-based policy solutions. Through our giving, we create lasting impact – by making strategic investments based on data, fostering partnerships that align with our policy areas of focus, and ensuring that every dollar is used to achieve measurable results for Americans.
As part of this commitment, we are pleased to share a brief overview of our annual tax filings, which provides insight into our charitable giving and financial information for the Laura and John Arnold Foundation (LJAF) and Action Now, Inc. (ANI).
In 2023, we awarded approximately $163 million from LJAF and more than $3 million from ANI in grants supporting research and advocacy across a range of critical issue areas. We invested in new initiatives aimed at tackling urgent challenges in both the public and private sectors. Here are some highlights:
- Health: We provided numerous grants designed to improve health care affordability and outcomes — including a partnership with Civica to improve the availability and affordability of quality generic medications.
- Education: We supported a variety of groups looking to improve educational outcomes for students, including a randomized control trial reviewing a dropout prevention program for rural high school students with learning, emotional or behavioral disabilities.
- Criminal Justice: We continued our work to enhance community safety and improve outcomes in the criminal justice system, including working with the Council of State Governments to investigate ways to improve gainful employment and business creation for people with a criminal record.
We invite you to view our full LJAF and ANI tax filings for further information about our giving.
