Washington, DC 20001
Tax ID: 51-0175510

Bread for the World Institute (BFWI) seeks justice for hungry people by engaging in research and education on policies related to hunger and development.

BFWI researches those changes and educates people on how to take effective action. BFWI works closely with its colleague organization, Bread for the World (BFW). With 56,000 members nationwide, BFW organizes people at the grassroots level to lobby their members of Congress on issues that address the root causes of hunger and poverty. Neither BFWI nor BFW provide direct relief or development assistance. Rather, we focus on using the power members have as citizens in a democracy to influence how government decisions affect hungry people.

Mdrc
New York, NY 10016
Tax ID: 23-7379473

MDRC was created in 1974 by the Ford Foundation and six federal agencies in the wake of the Great Society antipoverty programs of the 1960s. Lacking clear measures of their effectiveness, these programs were the subject of both unsubstantiated claims of success and criticism by anecdote, with no firm legacy to inform future efforts. MDRC''s founders sought to establish a new kind of organization that would build a body of unassailable evidence about whether social programs do or do not work. Over the past 30-plus years, MDRC has shown that policy research can produce conclusive findings and that objective studies, actively disseminated, can have a direct effect on legislation and practice. MDRC''s work played a major role in building the knowledge base that has informed important government initiatives in the areas of welfare reform, workforce development and job training, and school-to-career innovations. MDRC''s research is now informing developments in the areas of preschool, K-12 education, and higher ed; low-wage workers and communities; and barriers to employment, including disability and criminal justice involvement.

Founded in 1990 by 16-year-old Ocean Robbins and 19-year-old Ryan Eliason, at a time when Nancy Reagan was telling young people to "just say no," we help youth say "yes" to living with meaning, purpose, integrity and commitment.

Youth stand at a threshold point in life, as they make choices that will send out vast ripples. Some young people believe growing up means abandoning their ideals. To us, it means learning how to live our ideals, every day, on the Earth. We believe that if the passion, creativity and commitment of youth can be liberated for the common good, we can transform our world.

YES! has inspired the formation of more than 400 non-profit clubs and organizations working for positive change, and brought greatly increased membership to hundreds more. YES! alumni have organized gang truces, started recycling programs, broken through stereotypes and prejudice barriers in schools, initiated community gardens and park clean-ups, set up marches and rallies to speak out on issues like environmental justice and the prison industry, and started socially responsible businesses. They have persuaded schools and businesses to purchase recycled products, offer organic and vegetarian options in cafeterias, retrofit their lighting, and offer anti-prejudice trainings.

Through public speaking, event facilitation, YES! Jams, organizing manuals, yesworld.org, and a support network for young activists, YES! is helping a generation to claim its voice and build a world we can be proud to pass on to our grandkids.
