In 2022, the Legatum Institute and the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream (MCAAD) formed a partnership. The American Dream Prosperity Index, produced by the Legatum Institute in partnership with MCAAD, enables greater understanding into the barriers to greater prosperity across the United States.

The Legatum Institute is a London-based think-tank with a bold vision to create a global movement of people committed to creating the pathways from poverty to prosperity and the transformation of society. The Institute has been measuring prosperity across the world, annually, through its global Index since 2007.

The Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream (MCAAD) is a nonpartisan, mission-driven organization dedicated to making the American Dream a more attainable reality. Founded in 2019, MCAAD will open its physical doors in the historic heart of Washington, DC.  The Center will host exhibitions and art celebrating inspiring personal stories of the American Dream, conduct research to identify barriers to social and economic mobility (such as this Index), and catalyze pro-prosperity policies through education, competitions and convening.
