Hopewell Fund

Hopewell Fund’s GALvanize USA is a nonpartisan civic engagement program founded in 2018 in light of the increasing polarization of the country. It seeks to tackle the social and cultural barriers that too often hold women back from using their full political power for progress. Using research, behavioral psychology, and neuroscience, GALvanize identifies, engages, and brings women together from across the political spectrum in supportive communities where they can build the political knowledge, confidence, and agency to vote their values. The organization’s theory of change is that unlocking the power of every woman to use her political agency will help to create an America that works for everyone. This grant provides flexible support for GALvanize USA.

Americans are beginning to feel the painful consequences of a historic level of market concentration, spurring public backlash, legal and economic innovation, and grassroots mobilization against monopolies. The Economic Security Project, a fiscally sponsored project of Hopewell Fund, is pursuing a two-year Anti-Monopoly Fund to build a sustained, cross-sector anti-monopoly effort to rein in the power of corporations over the democracy and economy of the United States. With other funders and leaders, the fund will build a robust ecosystem of anti-monopoly actors; catalyze legal and economic research, power-building campaigns, and powerful storytelling; and elevate both established organizations and new leadership alike. This renewal grant will serve the broad aims of the fund, including new work exploring the consequences of economic concentration on Black and Latinx communities.

This grant will provide funding for Resources for Abortion Delivery (RAD) to support independent abortion providers through technical, legal, and financial assistance. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Health and Rights.)
