David Henderson joined Family Independence Initiative (www.fii.org) in 2014 after running a data analytics and technology company for over eight years that built outcomes management solutions for social sector organizations. David’s professional focus is on improving the way social sector organizations utilize information to make high impact decisions. After more than a decade working in and with human service organizations, David is especially interested in exploring the effectiveness of investing directly in low-income communities.

Since 2001, Family Independence Initiative (FII) has innovated and tested new approaches to economic and social mobility that demonstrate that low-income families have the initiative and capacity to move themselves and their communities out of poverty. This happens when families have access to connections, choice, and capital.
