Guaranteed Income: A Primer for Funders

Center for High Impact Philanthropy Jan 3, 2023


Financial security, stable households, and job opportunities are the foundation of a sustainable society. As a donor, you can help alleviate poverty and provide economic opportunity by supporting organizations performing essential work to support communities and families,  secure livelihoods and increase earning potential. provide direct cash transfers to those who need it most, and connect eligible people with benefits that ease their financial burdens. Created by Asset Funders Network, the Center for High Impact Philanthropy, Economic Security Project, and Springboard to Opportunities, this primer was developed to educate funders on the ways in which guaranteed income and related cash-based policies not only strengthen low and moderate income communities and communities of color, but also build a healthy and more resilient economy for us all. In this downloadable PDF, you’ll find:

  • An introduction to guaranteed income
  • An overview of existing cash-based government policies
  • Real-world case examples of how funders are supporting and promoting guaranteed income programs
  • Lessons learned from recent guaranteed income efforts
