Where does MVP fund? What is MVP's electoral targeting?

We invest in long-term organizing in all the top swing states and races up and down the ballot.

Each election cycle, we find the places in most critical need of investment, using our team of national and state advisors’ expertise, analysis, and on-the-ground insights to optimize targeting.

Because the state of play is always evolving, we are continuously fine-tuning our grantmaking.

• In each geography, we weigh key races, including the Presidency, US Senate seats, US House seats, state executive races, state chamber flip opportunities, key local races (e.g., city councils, school boards), and ballot measures.
• We draw on in-depth political analysis and aggregated polling, coupled with the insights from our national and state advising teams. 
• Where possible, we look for investment opportunities with multiple and layered key electoral races.
• Based on our analysis of electoral priorities and organizational capacity, we cluster states in prioritized groupings and develop individual state-by-state investment targets.
• We work to thoughtfully balance the critical need to make hard choices on how to deploy limited financial resources for the greatest impact, while not writing off any community, and we develop investment strategies that work towards achieving critical wins this cycle and building power long-term for future opportunities.
