About Urban

Our People
Policy Leadership Council

Urban Institute’s Policy Leadership Council members serve as thought partners to Urban’s leaders and researchers. The council is made up of community, business, and policy leaders who advise Urban annually about our research priorities, expanding our reach and evaluating the impact of our work. Members also help identify new research opportunities that can meet the needs of advocates, practitioners, local governments, philanthropists, business leaders, and other changemakers.

Membership to the Policy Leadership Council begins at a $10,000 annual commitment. Members’ financial support provides Urban with flexible resources, allowing us to anticipate and respond to emerging policy issues with timely analysis.
