About Prosperity Now

Ensuring everyone in our country has a clear path to financial stability, wealth and prosperity.

Prosperity Now (formerly CFED) believes that everyone deserves a chance to prosper. Since 1979, we have helped make it possible for millions of people, especially people of color and those of limited incomes, to achieve financial security, stability and, ultimately, prosperity. We offer a unique combination of scalable practical solutions, in-depth research and proven policy solutions, all aimed at building wealth for those who need it most.

 


 

Our mission is to ensure everyone in our country has a clear path to financial stability, wealth and prosperity.

  • Opening the Door to Opportunity
    We create and support programs and policies that foster an economy that offers opportunity to those who have not had it before.
  • Helping People Build Wealth
    By focusing on assets and savings, we make sure people have the tools they need to build wealth and a better future. 
  • Enabling Meaningful Mobility Together
    Through research, solutions and policies, we fight for economic mobility for everyone in America.

CFED became Prosperity Now in June 2017. Read our brand story.
