Opportunity Knocks is a national economic mobility platform, anchored by an award-winning series on PBS, that increases income and reduces debt. More than 54 million Americans live on survival budgets, and most households live paycheck to paycheck. Billions fund financial wellness programs each year, yet too many families never access them. Short-term stabilization alone does not create lasting progress. As public resources contract and demand rises, nonprofit systems are under pressure. Opportunity Knocks moves families beyond crisis so more households can be served within existing resources. The TV series meets people in their homes, showing real families moving beyond shame and financial stress. Engaged viewers are connected to coordinated support across nonprofits, CDFIs, and financial institutions to ‘live the show’. Among participating households: • Income increases average $19,486 • Debt decreases by 50% • Credit scores rise 88 points The Opportunity Finder connects viewers to 17,000+ nonprofits and financial solutions locally and nationwide. The Opportunity Coach provides personalized action plans and tracks progress. Opportunity Knocks Live activates communities. On a national tour, host cities bring together nonprofits, financial institutions, civic leaders, and families for whole-community action. There are no brochures. Only services. In a single day, providers serve up to 1,000 families. The pilot saved attendees $500,000, 93% solved a problem and 100% felt treated with dignity and respect. With bipartisan Honorary Co-Chairs, including mayors and Members of Congress, Live events reflect visible collaboration focused on results. For philanthropic leaders, this means stronger portfolio performance. For corporate brand and public affairs leaders, it offers a credible platform that strengthens trust and supports constructive engagement. Opportunity Knocks is infrastructure that drives economic mobility investments to perform and endure.
