FAQAbout MVPUpdated May 7, 2026

Does MVP fund candidates?

Instead of funding candidates, MVP focuses on investing in year-round organizing groups.

Why? Because these organizations:

  1. Are best positioned to turn out unlikely voters in their communities.
  2. Organize year-round for policy change vs. closing shop on election night.
  3. Build political power that grows year after year, cycle after cycle.

Not only do we not fund politicians — our model is so effective that politicians often fundraise for us.

The MVP model of effecting change by funding local organizing is so strategic that local, state, and federal officials have often chosen to speak at our fundraising events.

This list includes Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and North Carolina Governor Josh Stein (D).
