Programs & Activities
Program 1
$2.0MFree and Fair ElectionsVoting is one of the most significant ways for Americans in the United States to participate in democracy. To develop a free, fair, and accessible election system, our Elections and Voting program supports groups who are empowering communities and strengthening our election infrastructure.
Program 2
$2.7MVibrant and Diverse Public SquareReliable information is getting harder to find, leading to less informed voters and greater threats to democracy. To increase civic participation, the Public Square program invests in organizations and leaders who believe in the power of accurate and accessible information as a force for justice and democracy, and work to ensure communities have access to the information they need, online and offline.
Program 3
$1.6MRepresentative and Accountable GovernanceGoverning institutions should provide equal voice and power to all Americans, leaders should be accountable and responsive, and abuses of power should be rare. Achieving this vision requires reforming our institutions so that voters see themselves and their opinions represented in government and its policy decisions. The Governance program seeks to defend against threats that undermine our democracy and works to advance long-term, structural change that shifts power to the people and away from a select few.
Program 4
$1.2MJust and Inclusive SocietyTo strengthen our democracy in an increasingly diverse country, the Just and Inclusive Society program elevates intersectional movements supporting refugees, migrants, and communities of color.
