The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity (FREOPP) is a nonprofit, non-partisan think tank that conducts original research aimed at expanding economic opportunity for people with incomes or wealth below the U.S. median. It draws on the work of leading scholars and emphasizes the roles of individual liberty, free enterprise, and technological innovation in assessing public policy and reforms. Based in Austin, Texas, FREOPP operates within the think-tank sector and relies on contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations to sustain its work. Its research analyzes how policy choices affect those at the lower end of the income distribution. Its primary audience includes policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders seeking evidence on how public policy impacts economic opportunity for lower-income groups. In October 2025, FREOPP announced the appointment of Aly Rau Brodsky as Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, marking a notable leadership development.
