What is MVP’s grantmaking process?
Our grantmaking is led by a team of national and state advisors, each with years of experience in local, state, and national organizing, movement building, and political strategy.
Our year-round grantmaking takes place in four steps:
- Targeting the most pivotal places and races, both now and long-term.
- Vetting via talent scouting, rigorous assessment, and reference checks.
- Allocation based on ongoing national and state-level analysis and strategy.
- Evaluation via ongoing interaction, annual reviews, and empirical research (often in collaboration with partners and allies).
