Help build a more participatory and inclusive democracy for all.
Across America, hundreds of new leaders are rising up to seek new solutions to real inequities holding back our democracy. This new “democratic spring” is vital to the health of our country but these leaders need more support for maximum success and impact. Funding is lagging and still largely directed at the partisan efforts of the next election cycle. Democracy entrepreneurs need support to scale promising ideas and tools to connect with their peers leading similar efforts across the country. Democracy Entrepreneurs will function as a backbone organization to accelerate this work, so that the whole of the democracy entrepreneurship movement will be greater than the sum of its parts.
A democracy entrepreneur is a leader and relentless, pragmatic, visionary who uses innovative, entrepreneurial techniques, approaches and solutions to address a challenge in our democracy and/or advance reform, to promote equity and enable broader, more inclusive, active participation.
