Grantmaking allows Democracy Fund to empower a range of changemakers within the system, test and iterate new ideas, convene aligned partners and donors, and scale promising initiatives. Drawing on our deeply held values, we build relationships with grantees and partners grounded in mutual respect, humility, and a spirit of working together. We look for opportunities to act as a convener and a bridge builder and to add value to the field beyond the dollars we invest. Please note that Democracy Fund does not accept unsolicited proposals.
