Grantmaking Strategy

Who We Fund

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.

We invest in groups doing year-round organizing, electoral work, and advocacy to shift culture, win power, and shape policy at every level.

Four Circles - Local Organizing, Social Movements, Cultural Power, Political Power

What We Fund

MVP invests in grantee partners working across three connected strategies:

Strategy #1: Expand Local Organizing

Expand local organizing year-round, in every key state around the country.

Strategy #2: Scale Up New Media

Scale up new media to shape worldviews and win hearts and minds en masse.

Strategy #3: Embolden Democrats

Embolden Democrats to fight for bold, popular agendas that can win back voters we’ve lost.

Where We Fund

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