Carnegie Commission

The Carnegie Commission was a group established in the 1960s by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie's foundation to study and recommend improvements in social services and public policies. Its goal was to identify effective ways for government and communities to address issues like poverty, education, and health. The commission gathered experts’ research and ideas, then provided practical recommendations to help create fairer, more effective social programs. Essentially, it served as a think tank dedicated to making social support systems work better for all citizens, emphasizing evidence-based solutions and collaborative efforts.
