Overview
The Fund for the Republic (FFR) is a national nonpartisan organization seeking to reduce the dominance of well-financed interests over politics and policymaking. The Fund helps to connect and support nonprofits, reformers, and funders working in the money-in-politics field, while also engaging more individual philanthropists to support reform efforts. As a start-up, the Fund has assembled an impressive leadership team and board and has had significant early impact on the field. This grant would help the organization develop a concrete and actionable fundraising plan, build organizational capacity, and begin execution.
