Empowering and Inspiring Public Servants
The Volcker Alliance, founded by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul A. Volcker, is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the public sector workforce to solve the challenges facing our nation.
Advancing Research on the Impact of Federal Workforce and Program Cuts
The Volcker Alliance and the Accountability and Reform Research Consortium (ARRC) awarded 11 stipends to support research on the effects of recent cuts to the federal workforce and federal programs on public service delivery, citizens, and democratic governance. This round of stipends is in response to two requests for proposals related to the “Governance Capacity” and “Impacts” pillars of ARRC’s research agenda.
2025 Annual Report
Mr. Volcker envisioned a public sector workforce with the experience, preparation, and commitment to ensure that government is accountable and delivers with excellence.
There has never been a more critical and publicly resonant moment to advance Mr. Volcker’s vision. By listening, learning, adapting, and innovating, the Volcker Alliance has developed a strategy for public service renewal in 2026 and beyond.
Our Approach
Our work is organized into four “lenses” to advance our mission. Our most impactful initiatives cut across all lenses, educating, empowering, connecting, and inspiring current and future public servants.
Our Work
We promote innovation in public service education, connect talent to government jobs, empower leaders to build the democracy of our future, and inspire others with the story of Paul Volcker's commitment to public service.
