Who We Are
Since the United States was founded, our democracy has never served everyone. That’s why Democracy Fund is taking bold action to realize a future where all people have what they need to thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and can navigate their lives with agency.
Created by eBay founder and philanthropist Pierre Omidyar, Democracy Fund is a foundation working to build an inclusive, multiracial democracy. Since 2014, Democracy Fund and its partner organization Democracy Fund Voice have committed over $550 million in grants to support pro-democracy organizations working to strengthen our democracy.
