A non-profit design & consulting firm that uses insights from the behavioral sciences to address complex social problems
About us
ideas42 is a nonprofit that uses the insights of behavioral science—which helps us understand the choices and decisions people make—to design innovative solutions to social problems at scale. We do this by carefully dissecting the behavioral issues that prevent otherwise well-designed programs and products from achieving their goals. We then design remedies that use insights from behavioral economics that strive to mitigate or overcome these issues. We work in a number of areas: consumer finance, economic mobility and opportunity, health, education, energy efficiency, and international development. Diversity Statement: As an organization committed to bettering the world through behavioral science, ideas42 seeks to produce the best outcomes for the people touched by our work. We put a high value on hiring people with diverse experiences, backgrounds, and skills because we know that when it comes to solving hard problems with uncertain solutions, heterogeneous teams produce better work. In order to ask the right questions, we must engage in robust debate, empathetic inquiry, and rigorous analysis. These practices depend on a team with a wide array of knowledge, built through both formal training and lived experience. In constructing our team, we look for talented and hard-working people who share our mission and core values, and who can expand the perspectives and skills of the ideas42 team.

This #GivingTuesday, nonprofits should set aside the notion of identifiable “victims”—and instead embrace a depiction of the people served by nonprofits as identifiable everyday heroes. Read more from ideas42 Chief Innovation Officer Piyush Tantia on how nonprofits can rethink their fundraising stories and focus on the resilience and strength of the people they serve. https://lnkd.in/d4beDFDp

We’re using behavioral science for good by making anti-poverty programs more efficient. In Ghana, we found that setting goals, making plans, and tracking savings over time can make cash transfer recipients 3.6 times more likely to save for their business. With cash transfer projects in countries worldwide, we’ve developed impactful solutions that meet people where they are on their journey out of poverty—and put them on a path to economic stability.

In many regions of the United States, more people are jailed for missing a court date than for anything else. By improving how people are notified and reminded about their court dates, ideas42 has already prevented over 100,000 missed court dates that can lead to arrest warrants and jail time. We’re using behavioral science to create better systems and policies so more people can retain their freedoms, livelihoods, and overall well-being.

ideas42 collaborates with partners who make significant contributions to their community—and want to maximize their effectiveness. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. We worked with the staff of a direct services provider in Detroit to identify the paternalism built into the way they approached their clients and replace it with narratives centered on the agency and dignity of those they serve. By changing how people think about the root causes of poverty, we’re ensuring that more people in historically and intentionally excluded communities have greater control over their lives and futures.
