About us
Democracy Fund is a foundation working to build an inclusive, multiracial democracy that is open, just, resilient, and trustworthy. Created by eBay founder and philanthropist Pierre Omidyar, Democracy Fund and its partner organization Democracy Fund Voice have together committed almost $425 million in grants since 2014 to support those working to strengthen our democracy. Democracy Fund collaborates with grantees, donors, and other partners to change America’s flawed system by strengthening and expanding the pro-democracy movement, defending against anti-democratic attacks, and advancing structural change.

How can journalists report the news in a way that supports equity and justice? In a recent article by The Austin Chronicle, Anita Varma of the Center for Media Engagement - The University of Texas at Austin explains how solidarity journalism is a key method for reporters: “Whereas, traditionally, journalists treat ‘officials’ – elected leaders, government officials, nonprofit and private sector executives – as agenda setters when it comes to news, solidarity journalism seeks to start with the people directly impacted by the decisions various officials make.” https://lnkd.in/eDtapXzw

📊 Our January 2024 report "Field in Focus" showed that the relatively small democracy funding field is growing & changing rapidly. We explored the uncertainties of the field's future, as well as the opportunities for future impact: 🏘️ Community building — including supporting and engaging newer funders. 💬 Understanding grantee experiences — especially BIPOC-led and -serving organizations. 📝 Defining democracy work and its focal areas to bolster future efforts to map the field. ☎️ Strengthening coordination across funders and across intermediaries. 🔍 Identifying and filling gaps for key subfields of democracy work that are underfunded. https://lnkd.in/ee3mrvGn
