About Us
Mission: 

We envision an open and just democracy that is resilient in the face of change and worthy of the American people’s trust.

To get there, Democracy Fund champions the leaders who defend democracy and who challenge our political system to be more open and just.

Programs: 

Democracy Fund champions the leaders and organizations who defend democracy and challenge our political system to be more open and just. We play many roles in service of the field of democracy reform, but first and foremost we are a funder, a philanthropic advisor, and an advocate.

 

Democracy Fund strengthens and defends democracy through four core programs: Elections and Voting, Governance, Just and Inclusive society, and Public Square.

Why Work For Us?: 

Since we became an independent foundation in 2014, Democracy Fund staff have helped support hundreds of efforts to make our democracy more open and just. Recognizing the challenges in our work, we encourage our team to take risks, experiment, and learn as we make meaningful progress toward our goals.

We know that protecting the future of our democracy requires investing in the very best people. Through our competitive salary and benefits package, an emphasis on your professional growth, and our collaborative and inclusive work environment, Democracy Fund constantly works to create an environment that supports and empowers our network of talented, dedicated staff. We are in this for the long haul and are committed to investing in those who see defending democracy as a lifelong mission.
