Work With Us

Join us on our mission to make wealth possible for all. Financially vulnerable people living in the United States (we focus on working or recently employed people making between $30K and 80K who are disproportionately Black, Latinx, and women-led households) face complex challenges. That’s why we take a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach to innovation and systems change.

To advance systemic change, we collaborate with employers, financial services firms, recordkeepers, payroll providers, gig platforms, fintechs, foundations, and policymakers. We conduct quantitative and qualitative research to understand the unique needs, wants, and aspirations of financially vulnerable people; innovate at scale; and drive widespread adoption of practical financial innovations.

We look forward to working together towards a more equitable financial future for people living on low- to-moderate incomes.


As employers increasingly recognize the social and business imperatives of their employees’ financial security, many are making the issue an executive priority. Our partnerships enable employers to deliver both short- and long-term financial security innovations directly to their traditional and non-traditional workers through workplace initiatives.

Our work addresses the needs of financially vulnerable customers with innovations that serve unique low- to moderate-income consumer needs. Financial institutions benefit from new accounts and deposits and increased loyalty with existing customers, while enabling people to build greater financial security.

As fintechs seek to increase market share and acquire new users, Commonwealth’s research and insights provide additional perspectives on an untapped target market of financially vulnerable consumers. We map savings and wealth-building solutions into existing fintech models and platforms. As a trusted partner, we enable a wider reach and measurable social impact.

Commonwealth collaborates with workplace solution providers, such as payroll firms and retirement plan providers, to support employee financial security. These initiatives help platforms improve engagement with their clients, meet user demand for financial wellness features, and address the financial needs of low- to moderate-income employees.

Commonwealth has a proven track record of providing policymakers with the latest evidence and thought leadership on financial security, leading to thoughtful policy change at the federal, state, and local level. Our research-backed insights help policymakers understand the best practices to support families in building financial security and opportunity, making it easier to advocate for impactful changes and enact critical policy changes.

Commonwealth’s work to improve financial security and opportunity for all is made possible thanks to the thought partnership and generous funding from our supporters, including BlackRock, Friedman Family Foundation, JPMorgan & Chase Co., MetLife Foundation, Prudential Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, Target Foundation, and W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
