What is MVP's vetting process?

Our national and state advising team proactively talent-scouts local groups; assesses the quality and scope of their electoral and year-round organizing work as well as their organizational health; and conducts deep, multi-point reference checks using insights from key movement leaders, national and in-state organizers, peer funders, and other allied organizations.

As we develop a comprehensive list of possible groups to support in the states they oversee, we build profiles of each group and work to assess factors such as:

• Quality of electoral work
• Synergy between electoral work and year-round organizing
• Constituency and issue priorities
• Place in the movement ecosystem
• Financial need and growth potential
