About the Democracy Alliance

The Democracy Alliance (DA), founded in 2005, is a donor community of individual philanthropists, foundations, and labor unions committed to a just, thriving democracy and a shared progressive future. The DA invests in building progressive infrastructure in the United States by filling gaps, providing catalytic funding, and resourcing social change all in service of a multiracial, feminist democracy that works for all.

The DA recently completed a strategic planning process that defined a bold 10-year vision centered on racial, gender, and economic justice, as well as long-term movement infrastructure. As a convener, connector, and resource aggregator, the DA supports donors seeking long-term impact and helps them move critical resources to the field.
