About this grant

The mismanagement of risk by major financial firms and the ensuing financial crisis of 2008-2009 contributed to the loss of millions of jobs and homes and erased trillions of dollars in retirement savings. A coalition of more than 200 organizations has formed seeking to support financial reform and understand public attitudes regarding such reform. The purpose of this grant to Public Interest Projects is to support research to explore Americans’ understanding of the issues involved in the reform of financial regulations.
