Capacity Building Program
The MVP Capacity Building Program gives our partners the tools, skills, and support to strengthen, sustain, and scale their work.
Funding enables organizations to do their work. Capacity building lets them achieve more with the resources they have. When funders invest in both, we get more impact per dollar.
What We Offer
We offer capacity-building support in four major areas:
- Data, Tech, and Systems: We offer free or discounted access to tech platforms for voter data, voter contact (text, phone, and door), voter registration, email marketing, relational organizing, analytics, and more.
- Leadership Development: Through an extensive network of professional providers, we offer coaching, trainings, and intensive cohorts in areas such as team leadership, organizational development, fundraising, and more.
- Communications and Narrative: We offer and connect our grantee partners to tailored coaching, training, and support around strategic communications, narrative and messaging development, and crisis communications.
- Safety and Security: In the face of growing threats to on-the-ground organizers’ safety and security, we offer both proactive planning and rapid response support around political violence, hacking, infiltration, and more.
Learn More
Hundreds of grassroots groups have put our capacity-building support to use, including:
- Increasing Black turnout in Arizona,
- Countering misinformation in Michigan, and
- Implementing sophisticated voter targeting in Minnesota.
Running grassroots voter organizations is hard. Imagine: What would it be like if grassroots leaders had all that they really needed to build strong, sustainable, scaled-up organizations? That’s MVP’s vision. We invite fellow funders to join us.
