Partnerships for Proven Programs | Arnold Ventures Partnerships for Proven Programs As a philanthropy that supports research to understand the root causes of America’s most persistent and pressing problems, Arnold Ventures helps lawmakers identify, implement, and scale programs with a proven record of success, and build a lasting practice of evidence-based policymaking.
Effective policy is critical to improving the lives of American families, strengthening their communities, and promoting their economic opportunity. Policymakers regularly face complex challenges with limited resources, making it even more imperative they back strategies with the highest chance of achieving better outcomes for children, families, and communities.
That’s why we partner with lawmakers and agency leaders to help identify and support programs proven effective through rigorous research and replication studies. As part of these partnerships, AV offers matching philanthropic dollars to incentivize implementing and expanding evidence-based policies at the state, local, county, and municipal level.
Currently, government social spending often fails to prioritize or reward programs with evidence of impact, leading proven programs to serve only a small fraction of those who could benefit.
Our partnerships aim to address this funding gap by using philanthropic support to provide immediate public and philanthropic funds to scale programs backed by a robust body of evidence, helping policymakers fulfill their promises to their constituents.

On June 1, 2026, DARPA and the National Science Foundation jointly released the AI Forge initiative — a university-only forum, administered by a nonprofit launching summer 2026, that will fund Project Ventures of roughly $750,000 to $3 million over one-year terms in three thrust areas: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on SAM.gov closes June 22 at 5pm ET and is restricted to U.S. universities and military service academies, one authorized submission per institution. Intellectual property is expected to be shared across forum participants, preferably through open-source licensing. This is the most significant joint DARPA-NSF research vehicle in a decade, and it is structured to bypass the frontier-lab model entirely.
