Overview
Issue One is a national nonpartisan organization seeking to reduce the dominance of well-financed interests over politics and policymaking. The organization recently pivoted from a grantmaking role, securing contributions predominantly from high net worth individuals and family philanthropists, to a good governance role working with former members of Congress. This grant would support a strategic planning project to clarify the organization's mission, messaging, tactics, staffing and hiring, outcomes and impact.

for the Civic Business Initiative
The Civic Business Initiative, a fiscally sponsored project of Issue One, engages business leaders to support democratic norms, values, institutions, and processes.
for support of the Rebuild Congress Initiative
The Rebuild Congress Initiative, a fiscally sponsored project of Issue One, broadens and diversifies the ecosystem of leaders who are aligning on and working to advance the policies, norms, and narratives needed for American democracy to thrive in the 21st century. This includes cultivating networks, fostering deep dialogue, and, where possible, building consensus. The group does not propose or advocate particular solutions. Rather, it works to help key stakeholders explore deeply, critique, and think creatively about their interests and what is needed to protect and sustain the American experiment in self-government.
for general operating support
Issue One unites Republicans, Democrats, and independents in the movement to fix the U.S. political system and build an inclusive democracy that works for everyone. Issue One works to bolster U.S. elections, strengthen ethics and accountability, increase government transparency, and reduce the corrosive influence of big money in politics.
