Is MVP affiliated with the Democratic Party?
No, MVP is not affiliated with the Democratic Party.
MVP funds local organizing and movement-building groups working to shift culture, win power, and shape policy.
MVP operates like a clearinghouse or “mutual fund” for political giving: We raise money from donors, then channel it toward the most impactful organizations and power-building work around the country.
Our role vis-à-vis the Democratic Party is to embolden Democrats to fight for bold, popular agendas that can win back voters we’ve lost.
