Our Vision and Mission

We envision an inclusive, multiracial democracy that is open, just, resilient, and trustworthy.

To get there, Democracy Fund champions the pro-democracy leaders and organizations who work to shift power toward the people and counter efforts to undermine American democracy.

How We Learn

At Democracy Fund, we believe our democracy is a complex, imperfect system — a work in progress. As funders, we want to be responsible with our dollars. Our strategy and learning practice helps us ensure that our grantmaking is backed by evidence. We are committed to driving lasting impact, grounded in the understanding that a multiracial nation requires a democracy that serves all of us. Moving toward our vision of an inclusive, multi-racial democracy demands innovative strategies and regular adaptation.
