Democracy Fund is a major organization that helps protect voting rights and democracy in America. Since 2014, they have invested over $500 million to make sure everyone can vote and participate in democracy. The organization was started by Pierre Omidyar, who founded eBay.
They work in four main areas: making elections fair and accessible, protecting government institutions, building an inclusive society where everyone belongs, and fighting false information. Democracy Fund gives money and support to thousands of groups across all 50 states. They help with quick funding to stop attacks on voting rights, provide legal help, protect elections, support journalists fighting fake news, and help community groups register voters.
In 2024, they raised $155 million through their All by April campaign. The organization believes democracy is under attack from voting restrictions, misinformation, and political violence. They work with other funders, researchers, and organizations to defend democracy and make lasting change.
Their goal is to build a multiracial democracy where every person has a voice and can take part in shaping their community and country.
