Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Democracy Funders Network
The Democracy Funders Network, a fiscally sponsored project of Policy Impact, is a cross-ideological learning and action community for donors concerned about the health of American democracy. Its programming spans cross-cutting topics such as authoritarian populism, inclusive democracy, social cohesion, democracy in the digital age, declining civic culture, and democracy reform. Its offerings include online and in-person programs, a quarterly book club, philanthropic advising, an annual retreat, and tools, resources, and reports for the field. It is also hosting a new working group for funders interested in political violence issues.
for support of the Patriots and Pragmatists project
Patriots and Pragmatists, a fiscally sponsored project of Policy Impact, is a cross-ideological network and convening space through which civic leaders and influencers debate, envision, and realize a brighter future for American democracy. The project was founded on a simple proposition: that people of goodwill from across the political spectrum could put aside their differences to explore together how to address the various challenges facing American democracy. Intentionally curated and well-facilitated convenings, along with active network weaving, are the centerpiece of the project’s work, enabling participants to build deep and lasting connections across ideological and disciplinary lines.
for support of Democracy 2076 project
Americans are losing faith in our democracy, and authoritarianism is stepping into the gap. Democracy 2076, a fiscally sponsored project of Policy Impact, provides a solution to inspire faith in the future of our democracy and opportunities to continue to build the United States’ multiracial democracy. One of its key initiatives includes convening democracy advocates from a wide range of backgrounds to build a long-term vision for US democracy.
