| Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK) | Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK), in partnership with NextLadder Ventures (NLV), launched a new initiative to back early-stage, impact-first organizations using technology and AI to help low-income Americans navigate economic opportunities and challenges. Tens of millions of low-income Americans qualify for benefits they never receive, sit on housing waitlists that never move, and navigate health systems that were not built for them. Fragmented systems, paper workflows, and overworked navigators combine to leave the people who most need support locked out of programs designed to serve them. AI and modern software create new opportunities to make complex systems and markets easier to navigate for frontline workers – including case managers, legal aid attorneys, career counselors, or community health workers – and the people they serve. To help expand the reach of these solutions, DRK is providing catalytic capital and hands-on support to early-stage companies and nonprofits creating new pathways for economic mobility. | Rolling |

| LA County, Department of Economic Mobility | The Sidewalk Vending Collaborative for Health, Safety, and Economic Mobility (“Street Vending”) project aims to close gaps in financial opportunity and mobility for predominantly informal segment of the regional economy – workers engaged in sidewalk vending. In partnership with community-based organizations that work closely with street vendors, we will establish a County Street Vending Ordinance with the Board of Supervisors and a County-led permitting process that will provide a legal pathway to street vending, launch a marketing and outreach campaign with technical assistance to provide vendors with information and support related to this ordinance and public health and safety regulations, and create and provide access to affordable code compliant food carts. Across the lifespan of this project, we will engage 5,000 street vendors from historically underserved, marginalized, and COVID-19 impacted groups with information as well as support 500 new permits and distribution of 200 code complaint carts and establish a framework that can support all countywide street vendors in a more formal and vibrant street vending economy. | Rolling |
