About WealthWorks

A set of national and regional partners are working together to define and develop the WealthWorks framework. While many organizations are now providing resources to advance the WealthWorks approach, the Ford Foundation, through its Expanding Livelihood Opportunities for Poor Households Initiative, provided initial support.
