Hindsight Heroes
Hindsight Heroes provide support to continue our efforts to produce primary research while also applying novel behavioral insights to organizations solving the world’s problems. With the help of our Hindsight Heroes, the bright minds of the Center for Advanced Hindsight can stay focused on what they do best – making people happier, healthier and wealthier through behavioral science, at home and abroad.

We want to work with you to map your philanthropic goals to the research that we’re doing. Research Champions directly support our research agenda by funding a project for six months in the area of their choice – whether it is in Health, Money, World, or something else altogether!
Common Cents Crusaders
Common Cents is the Center for Advanced Hindsight’s financial decision-making lab, which creates and tests behavioral economics interventions to improve the financial well-being for low-to moderate-income people living in the United States. To fulfill this mission, Common Cents collaborates with socially-minded fintech companies, credit unions and nonprofits. These organizations use the insights gained from behavioral economics to drive positive changes within their processes and operations. Since its launch in 2016, the Common Cents Lab has helped 39 organizations tackle tough questions, such as: • How do we get people to save a larger portion of their tax refund? • How do we get 1099 workers to save for retirement? • How do we help people make their food stamps last longer? A gift of $250,000 supports the Common Cents Lab’s work with one organization that serves low- to moderate-income populations.
Startup Lab Supporters
The Startup Lab is an academic incubator that supports entrepreneurs with tech solutions for health and financial decision-making by helping them build more effective products designed for humans. Through the Startup Lab, researchers at the Center for Advanced Hindsight teach entrepreneurs to integrate findings and experimentation methods from behavioral science in order to design products that positively impact the way their consumers form habits, make decisions, and interact with digital tools. The immersive program teaches startups to leverage academic research to build, test, and scale their products and understand their users’ decision-making processes. The Startup Lab provides new business ventures with access to existing social science research and the tools to conduct their own experiments to better understand their customers. With this behavioral science toolkit, Startup Lab alumni have a greater potential to develop products that powerfully impact the way their customers make decisions. A gift of $350,000 supports the Startup Lab’s work with one startup company.

Our experience with Dan Ariely and the Center for Advanced Hindsight has been exceptional. Through this relationship we get to learn more about all the cutting edge research they are doing to understand human and organizational behavior. And as a result help create solutions to improve, among many things, the financial and physical health of people, and the effectiveness of organizations delivering results. We also feel good that our support is being used for the betterment of our society.
