Our vision

We strive for a future in which Americans are informed and empowered to contribute to the health and vibrancy of the country’s democracy and civic life.

OUR MESSAGE IN 2024: DEMOCRACY IS LARGER THAN POLITICS

We need to invest in a democratic culture that transcends partisan politics. Democracy is experiencing a crisis of legitimacy at a system and cultural level, and we need a broad philanthropic coalition (including across party and political lines) willing to work together to ensure democracy is larger than politics for more people.
