The Democracy Fund invests in social entrepreneurs working to ensure that our political system is responsive to the public and able to meet the greatest challenges facing our nation.
The Healthy Democracy Fund is dedicated to elevating the public’s voice in our democracy. The Oregon-based organization developed an innovative reform, called the Citizens’ Initiative Review, which provides voters with better information about statewide ballot measures.
"The Citizens Initiative Review is a proven way of publicly evaluating ballot measures so that voters have clear, useful, and trustworthy information at election time. With the help of the Democracy Fund, we will help to replicate this important reform in other states across the country."
