This isn't a study that just tracks numbers. We want to understand what matters most to people, how things unfold over time, and what's helping — or getting in the way. We're not just asking whether things changed, but how and why.

We’re the research partner for the RISE Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) program. As RISE GMI begins in your community, we wanted to introduce ourselves, share what our role is, and explain how the research fits alongside the program GiveDirectly is running.
