Overview
The Demand Progress Education Fund will continue its efforts to ensure the executive branch is populated with officials who seek to use public power to implement an economic vision that improves people’s lives. The executive branch wields extraordinary authorities that relate to essentially every sector of the economy, yet these tools are not leveraged for all they could be, and the very concept of executive action remains obscure to many NGOs, the media, and the general public. Consequently, for more than a generation, the executive branch has largely been the domain of neoliberal technocrats and figures captured by corporations and elites. The Education Fund will build upon several years of impactful efforts to change this.

for the Tech Talent Project
The Tech Talent Project is a nonpartisan nonprofit project fiscally sponsored by New Venture Fund that addresses the pressing need for tech talent in government to effectively implement nonlegislative policy, provide services, and address emerging technologies like AI. Recent shifts in the digital labor market present an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate this work in the federal government. (Substrategy: Executive Branch)

The Campaign for Our Shared Future, a fiscally sponsored project of New Venture Fund, is a nonpartisan, common-ground effort fighting for the right of every child to an inclusive and high-quality education that prepares them for success in work and life and strengthens the foundation of our multiracial democracy. Their work amplifies essential supports for K-12 students, including inclusive curriculum, social-emotional learning, and school culture measures designed to increase safety and connection.
