Empower Missouri is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy advocacy organization focused on alleviating poverty in Missouri. With a history spanning more than 120 years, it is the state's oldest and largest anti-poverty organization and one of the earliest of its kind in the nation. The group concentrates on homelessness, food security, mass incarceration, and access to healthcare, aiming to secure basic needs and equal justice for Missourians through policy analysis, real-world impact assessments, and coalition-building. Based in Jefferson City, Missouri, Empower Missouri operates as a small- to mid-sized nonprofit dedicated to policy reform through advocacy. In early 2026, the organization participated in the Action & Anti-Poverty Summit, reflecting ongoing engagement with policy communities while pursuing changes to laws that affect poverty and justice.
