What is MVP? What does MVP do?
MVP funds local organizing and movement-building groups working to shift culture, win power, and shape policy.
MVP operates like a “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.
Does MVP run get-out-the-vote programs and advocacy campaigns?
Our role is not to lead the work, but to fund and strengthen the work by:
- Investing in organizing;
- Strengthening organizations’ capacity; and
- Maximizing collaboration at every level.
