Our Work
Building a vibrant American economy requires a strong fiscal foundation. Since 2008, the Peterson Foundation has worked to increase awareness of America’s key fiscal challenges and to advance solutions that put our nation on a more sustainable fiscal path.
As a non-partisan and non-profit organization, we work across party lines with policy experts, elected leaders and the general public. Our mission is to bring people together around a shared vision for a strong and sustainable fiscal and economic future with rising incomes, abundant opportunities and widely shared prosperity for the next generation.
The Foundation undertakes a range of activities, partnerships and grants to educate and engage our nation’s leaders and the public in order to secure a better fiscal and economic path forward.
What We Do
Research & Analysis
To help explain the fiscal challenge itself and illuminate the way forward, we produce timely research and analyses, adding depth and insight to the policy conversation.
Educating & Engaging
We inspire and empower Americans with innovative campaigns that increase awareness, mobilize young people and drive a thoughtful national dialogue around sustainable fiscal and economic policies.
Advancing Solutions
America’s fiscal challenges are serious, but they are also solvable. We build bipartisan coalitions to develop and advance common sense solutions that cut through entrenched partisan lines.
Convening
We provide a platform for leading thinkers and policymakers to have constructive, substantive discussions — including through our signature annual event, the Fiscal Summit.The Foundation is proud to continue its work in these and other areas to develop and promote solutions to strengthen our long-term fiscal foundation, and promote a growing, thriving economy with greater opportunity and prosperity for all Americans.
