This funding opportunity supports initiatives that promote citizen engagement in government, enhance accountability, and protect individual rights, particularly focusing on empowering communities of color.

Description

The Democracy and Power Innovation Fund, part of the Rockefeller Family Fund (RFF), focuses on enhancing the active participation of citizens in government, increasing accountability and responsiveness in both government and private institutions, and safeguarding individual rights and liberties as defined by the Constitution. This program supports efforts to overcome barriers to registration and voting, expand access to government information, advocate for the electronic disclosure of campaign contributions, and a variety of initiatives aimed at holding government agencies and officials accountable. The Fund serves as a collaborative grantmaking vehicle aimed at researching and innovating at the nexus of organizing, civic engagement, and power, particularly within communities of color. Its goal is to understand and bolster the impact of community organizing, narrative change, and structural democracy reforms on civic engagement and voting. The Fund builds a community of leaders across organizing, political science, and philanthropy to support the creation of a multi-racial democracy that benefits all.
