We believe people thrive when they are heard and valued.

In the last fifty years, the poverty rate in the U.S. has remained stagnant, and division over solutions has reached an all-time high. It’s clear: we need a new approach.

Instead of top-down strategies, real poverty alleviation occurs when those with lived experiences connect with leaders to create solutions. Together, they become the architects of personal and community transformation.

At Think Tank, we’re here to tell the human story of poverty because every individual has value, and every story matters. We bring dignity and opportunity to those burdened by poverty—both economic and social. Our mission is to support and equip organizations and individuals with lived experience to work together to strengthen our communities.
