America Forward Relaunches as Stand-alone Effort

September 24, 2025 | New Profit Communications

We’re delighted to share that America Forward, originally incubated at New Profit over 15 years ago, is relaunching as an independent nonpartisan policy initiative led by Executive Director Deborah Smolover, a national social innovation policy expert and former Managing Partner at New Profit.

We are especially excited that the America Forward Coalition will remain a leading collective advocacy voice in the field, driving cross-sector collaboration and advancing innovative, evidence-based policy solutions in education, economic mobility, and civic participation that expand opportunity for all.

We’re proud of all we’ve accomplished together and excited for what’s ahead for America Forward.
