We look for leaders willing to fight for our democracy and with a plan to win. Through Propel Democracy we support innovators, organizers, and strategists leading efforts to win at the ballot box, defend our democracy, and build a future where we all can thrive.
We know this work requires all of us. That’s why our partners are building critical infrastructure and multi-issue, cross-racial, cross-class coalitions. We focus our support on organizations committed to working together across organizations and issues, harnessing new energy to ensure lasting change and often led by and building power among people of color and young people.
We move money and people. At Propel, we’re committed to creating on-ramps for political engagement so more donors, individuals, and volunteers become a part of the solution. That’s why we’ve invested in building and strengthening donor networks that mobilize new resources and efficiently move them to where they will have the highest impact.
Join us. Propel Democracy can accept and deploy 501(c)(3) donations from other donors and foundations in alignment with these goals. We are able to move quickly to respond to changing political dynamics and have a strong track record of identifying and funding effective organizations and coalitions that are core to strengthening our democracy. We’ve created the Propel Democracy Forward Fund to protect voting rights and advocate for representation of all American voters. Click here to learn more about the Propel Democracy Forward Fund.
We partner with organizations that:
- Strengthen grassroots organizing and voter engagement particularly in communities of color.
- Unlock investments for pro-democracy political infrastructure and state level power building.
- Employ creative, tactical approaches to winning elections and policies that make a difference in people’s lives.
