Your Gift. Real Impact. Policies For a Better World.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

At the Goldman School of Public Policy, we look to the future with a sense of both urgency and excitement. Urgency because threats to democracy, the climate, equity, and peace are both multiplying and intensifying. And excitement because we’re equipping a generation of vibrant public policy leaders with the expertise, tools, and resilience to confront the enormous challenges ahead of us.

We are laser-focused on building the public policy school of the future–one that prioritizes creativity, innovation, justice, inclusion, and a spirit of shared success. We’re investing in people, programs, and places to maximize our impact. We’re very proud of the work that we're doing – together.

Thank you for partnering with us on the urgent, exciting venture that is the Goldman School.

— Dean David C. Wilson

Deb Haaland on Policy vs. Politics

Deb Halland

"We face attacks on the very idea of wanting to make things better, and that’s why the Goldman School of Public Policy is so vital. We talk a great deal about politics in this country, but people forget that politics doesn’t change people’s lives. Policy does. Politics has never fed a hungry child or eradicated a deadly disease. Talking heads have never trained a disabled veteran or fed a family affected by a natural disaster. Politics—electing people who care, people who...reflect the real experiences of everyday Americans—combined with policy, absolutely make a difference."

- Deb Haaland, Former United States Secretary of the Interior
