Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) is a mid-sized nonprofit organization focused on public policy advocacy aimed at improving the lives of low-income people. Based in Washington, DC, CLASP blends rigorous research with advocacy to influence policies at the federal, state, and local levels. It characterizes itself as nonpartisan and positions its work at the nexus of local practice, national research, and state and federal policy, translating findings across these realms. Its primary audience includes governments and advocates seeking policies that strengthen families and expand access to education and work opportunities for low-income communities. In October 2023, CLASP announced partnerships with Springboard to Opportunities in Mississippi and with Blueprint North Carolina to advance access to affordable childcare.
