Wealth gaps haven’t improved since the 1960’s
Wealth gaps are as large as they were in the 1960’s and they’re only projected to get worse. For example 60% of Black and Latine 4-year college grads start their careers unemployed or underemployed and Black and Latine college graduates have a lower median net worth than White individuals with only a high school degree.

Elevating Employer Practices to improve outcomes for all
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone is not just able to survive by having enough to get by, but have the economic opportunities that allow them to thrive in all aspects of their lives
Advancing Employers and Individuals
Differences in lifetime earnings and benefits account for ~75% of wealth gaps. 67% percent of Americans make their careers at medium-to-large-sized companies. Expanding economic mobility requires that major employers implement fair and meritocratic practices.
The MLT experience makes a profound and lasting impact on our fellows.
We help thousands of students ensure that a college degree results in improved economic mobility.
Employers directly control the two biggest drivers of economic mobility earnings and benefits. We work with large employers to help them institute more fair and meritocratic practices that improve their bottom lines and make them powerful levers for expanding economic opportunities.
We help rising leaders maximize their trajectories and impact, which provides lasting mobility for their families and contributes to more meritocratic employer practices.
Entrepreneurship is a critical path to wealth generation and influence. We're working to ensure that the next generation of founders, investors, and new companies include people from all backgrounds.
Join the Movement
We believe we can meaningfully expand economic mobility and narrow the wealth gap within one generation, but we can't do it alone. We need you to get involved.
