About the Democracy and Power Fund
The Democracy and Power Fund expands on the Open Society Foundations' longtime support of efforts that inspire and activate people of color, young people, immigrants, and low-income communities. The fund primarily invests in multi-issue national advocacy and organizing organizations that expand access to democracy for all and build power for lasting social justice and systemic change.
The fund supports organizations and networks in order to:
- Expand multi-issue grassroots organizing and nonpartisan voter participation.
- Catalyze youth engagement and leadership development.
- Support idea generation, research, and policy analysis that expands open society.
- Promote advocacy innovation through the use of art, culture, and social media.
- Build the capacity of state-based groups in key regions to have the power to advance open society at local, state, and national levels.
