How does MVP choose and vet organizations?

MVP supports year-round organizing, movement-building, and culture-shifting organizations — with an emphasis on working-class voters, youth, voters of color, immigrant voters, LGBTQ+ voters, and others who bear the brunt of injustice in the United States. You can learn more about our grantee criteria here.

Our year-round grantmaking process takes place in four steps:

• Step 1: Targeting the most pivotal places and races, both now and for the long term.
• Step 2: Vetting via talent scouting, rigorous assessment, and references.
• Step 3: Allocation based on ongoing national and state-level analysis and strategy.
• Step 4: Evaluation via year-round interaction, annual reviews, and empirical tests.
