On October 15, we invite you to join DFN Bay Area for a happy hour with two of the leaders whose organizations will be crucial to that work: Ian Bassin, co-founder and Executive Director of Protect Democracy, whose team has been preparing institutions for the threat of an elected authoritarian; and Jill Habig, founder and CEO of Public Rights Project, whose team supports local elected officials in protecting their constituents from authoritarian moves at the state and federal level.

DFN programs are for funders supporting organizations in the democracy space. If you’re not a funder, please email us at  democracy@thirdplateau.com to discuss your participation before registering.

American liberal democracy persists against a backdrop of rapid societal evolution. The Democracy Funders Network launched the Better Futures Project to urge democracy donors and practitioners to move beyond reaction and critique towards creation and change. In 2022, we published the Imagining Better Futures for American Democracy report. The report challenges the field to consider the future of our democracy beyond the next election cycle.

Jolts in the 2020 and 2024 presidential election cycles underscore the fragility of the democratic norms and processes we have taken for granted. These shifting sands can foment unease or a hopeless sense of predestination for democracy funders. One path forward is to use futures thinking and strategic foresight to look beyond the short term and stretch the imagination.

This October, we are publishing a funder toolkit: Becoming Futures-Ready: How Philanthropy Can Leverage Strategic Foresight For Democracy. This toolkit showcases practical applications of how strategic foresight can be incorporated into philanthropic strategies and practices. This toolkit highlights our conversations with leading-edge strategic foresight practitioners and funders. It also parses the burgeoning publications devoted to the intersections of philanthropy and strategic foresight.

Featured Speakers: 

• Suzette Brooks Masters, Senior Fellow, DFN and Director of DFN’s Better Futures Project

• Keesha Gaskins-Nathan, Program Director, Democratic Practice–United States, Rockefeller Brothers Fund

• Liz Ruedy, Senior Advisor to the President, Democracy Fund

Join DFN for a conversation on how funders can defend themselves and their grantees against closing space for civil society.

The Democracy Communications Collaborative (DCC) is a funder-practitioner partnership that empowers pro-democracy forces across the ideological spectrum to build durable public support for liberal democracy through communications. Together, the DCC Leadership Group, Partner Table and Democracy Communications Fund engage funders, coordinate practitioners, and invest in urgent research, persuasion, and shared resources. These mutually reinforcing efforts are preparing the field for the next decade of work by increasing donor confidence and expertise, building practitioner capacity and capability, and developing infrastructure.

The DCC was created to address widely-shared concerns that the pro-democracy field has not reached beyond the choir to new persuadable audiences. Cooperation and coordination are rare, capacity and reach have been limited, and technical, novel, and expensive communications projects have challenged funders. Addressing these challenges is necessary to prepare the field for the decade of strategic investment that is required.

The DCC’s Shared Baseline Research Program provides top-tier public opinion research to a Partner Table of 80+ nonpartisan democracy organizations, cost-effectively ensuring that the democracy communications field has the data to identify, reach, and persuade their target audience. The program includes ongoing quantitative and qualitative research and a comprehensive democracy voter segmentation.

This session will help funders orient themselves to the public opinion landscape that democracy advocates face in 2024. We will share results from an initial survey and focus groups, review current understanding of the movable audience, and preview plans for our next round of research. Finally, we’ll discuss how this research can guide the funder community: What kind of election trust initiatives might merit investment based on what we have learned? And are there important outstanding questions that still need to be answered?

Rural communities are home to nearly 20% of the people in the United States but receive only 7% of US foundation funding. While election year dynamics in particular tend to train many democracy donors’ attention to the states and cities where most Americans live (particularly swing districts), we can’t truly talk about a healthier democratic future without including America’s rural communities in the conversation.

Rural America is not a monolith. It is a deeply diverse community that represents many of America’s points of identity and success as a country. At the same time rural America has experienced a pervasive lack of investment that has led to high levels of distrust and low levels of civic infrastructure. The resulting impact is a rural America that is 25% more likely to live in poverty and actually face higher mortality and incarceration rates than their urban counterparts. Anti-democratic forces recognize these challenges and are capitalizing on rural disaffection to frame the enemy of the rural working class as immigrants, people of color, and coastal elites who are quick to discount “flyover country.” A study by the Voter Study Group found that the more rural a voter’s community was, the more likely a voter was to believe that Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

Against this backdrop, rural Americans maintain disproportionate political influence. By 2040, 70 percent of the Senate will be elected by just 30 percent of Americans. If we don’t authentically include rural revitalization in a democracy agenda, we are missing a key part of the equation and reinforcing the perception that national institutions and elites discount the lives and importance of rural communities. We must listen to the diverse perspectives of those on the ground in rural America to ensure a forward-looking democracy agenda is responsive to their needs.

In this program, participants will hear from leading rural funders and practitioners on why rural America is important to the future of American democracy, and why a philanthropic agenda for rural investment needs to extend far beyond building constituencies that can impact election results to improve the long-term civic health of rural communities.

Propaganda - and a toxic information ecosystem dominated by a few chaos agents - is not new to the United States. What is unprecedented is the speed and quantity that we are dealing with in this technological era.

Join us for a member-only DFN program where Jon Rauch will be in conversation with Renée DiResta about how a shifting system of power and influence has profoundly transformed how public opinion is shaped, impacting social cohesion and often eroding the trust people have in their institutions. What further erosion lies ahead? How can we hold propagandists and their disciples to account? How do leaders adapt and fight back?

Renée’s new book, Invisible Rulers, dives deeper into these themes. Available on June 11, Invisible Rulers is available for pre-order now.

In recent election years, the democracy funding community has given at unprecedented levels, and largely succeeded in averting the worst potential outcomes for the health of American democracy. And yet, as we begin the 2024 election year, it appears that American democracy is once again facing a number of urgent and existential threats. But at the same time, we know that in order for liberal democracy to be sustained over the long term, we need to think beyond election cycles and address the root causes of our democratic degradation.

Available by request directly from our team, DFN’s recently released election-year giving guide paints a broad picture of the major lanes for funders who would like to make strategic investments to get our democracy through this critical election year. Within each lane, it also outlines some key ideas for funders to understand and some of the core organizations or initiatives in need of support.

Join DFN for a conversation among funders about their investment strategies in this critical year and learn how your peers are navigating the landscape. How are funders weighing risks and opportunities? How are they balancing short- and long-term needs? Are funders doubling down on existing strategies and investments, or adding new work to their portfolios? With the recent All by April call for philanthropy to move election-related giving by April, how are funders navigating their timelines for getting money out the door? And finally, with no shortage of election-related giving options, how does one ultimately make choices about where to invest?

Join Democracy Funders Network for a funder happy hour at Cornerstone in Berkeley! 2024 is going to be a critical year for the health of American democracy, and now is the perfect time to build relationships that will support us through the times ahead. Whether you’re looking to get to know other local funders investing in pro-democracy work or discuss key democracy strategies, this is the perfect opportunity to come learn and be in community with your peers. Drinks and appetizers are on DFN.

Following happy hour, we invite you to join us for a book talk by Michael Waldman, president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice. He’ll be at Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy discussing his new book, The Supermajority: How the Supreme Court Divided America, with Maria Echaveste of the Opportunity Institute. Registration for this event is separate - sign up here - but the DFN team will be attending and happy to coordinate a group walk (~20 minutes) or shared rides from happy hour to the book talk.

Too often, democracy in America is discussed only through the narrow prism of elections. It can be hard for the field to consider what civic engagement and civic infrastructure look like outside of this frame, particularly in a major election year. And yet the practice of democracy extends far beyond periodically exercising the right to vote. In a time of deep polarization and disaffection, people’s trust in government and their fellow residents is directly related to their believing they have agency, that government will be responsive to their preferences, and that government at all levels will deliver materially for them in their everyday lives.

A broad set of actors around the world are applying and testing new methods of participatory governance, and there is growing interest in the United States. Collaborative governance – or “co-governance” – models such as participatory budgeting and citizens assemblies offer more responsive and equitable structures for engaging the public in collective problem solving and in making and implementing policy. What is this “deliberative wave,” and how is it emerging in the United States? What models have been tested so far, what is still unknown, and how might funders support these types of experiments? Finally, what might be possible if thinking beyond elections and adopting a more expansive definition of civic engagement became the norm in the United States?

Harassment of U.S. funders and their grantees is increasing and is likely to be an ongoing problem as authoritarians erode America’s democratic norms. Harassment comes in many forms, including physical, cyber, legal, and political threats, and it affects a range of organizations and leaders, from social conservatives to progressives. The common thread is that it makes it harder for grantees and their funders to be effective, as it closes the civic space that is vital to any functioning democracy. Harassment drains resources, stops institutions from advancing their missions, and sends a chilling signal to others.

Fortunately, funders are in a position to make a difference on this urgent issue for the field. Please join the Democracy Funders Network and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for a briefing with leading experts, including Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Senior Fellow Rachel Kleinfeld and philanthropic strategist Peter Teague, on the nature of the problem and potential solutions to keep funders and grantees safe and effective, keep the public space open, and de-escalate tensions that lead to violence. This program is relevant for funders in the democracy space as well as a range of other areas such as climate change, education, women’s rights, and LGBTQ+ rights.

Election season is upon us. Although we know we need to cultivate a long-term agenda for democracy that thinks well beyond election cycles, we are approaching another election where the stakes for democracy could be dire, possibly irreversibly so. The Republican Party and mainstream conservatism in the U.S. have been largely captured by the far-right autocratic movement, and the former president at the center of that capture appears to have a viable path to another term. In order for right-wing extremism to recede in the U.S., it will need to suffer consistent electoral defeat, which will require strategic and sustained opposition from a broad pro-democracy coalition from left to right. Electoral success will also require new strategies that help both major political parties speak to key constituencies who may feel disillusioned or abandoned by the parties as they have been operating. Join us for this Winning Coalition series, in which you will hear from 4 high-performing groups across the political spectrum working in creative ways to ensure that democracy wins at the ballot box in 2024 and long-term.

Briefings:

• December 12, 11am-12pm PT/2-3pm ET: Welcome Party

• January 9, 9:30-10:30am PT/12:30-1:30pm ET: Republican Accountability Project

This Eventbrite date is only set to the third session on December 12. If you sign up for the series, you will receive Google calendar invites for the third and fourth sessions. Please try to let us know if you are not able to make one of the sessions. Password-protected recordings (including the first and second sessions, with The Rural West Project and Mormon Women for Ethical Government) will be available for a limited time to series registrants who need to miss an individual session. Because we will be discussing electoral politics, no session will be 501(c)(3)-friendly.

Hear from a panel of experts discuss a new report from More in Common and the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, Searching for a New Paradigm: Collective Settings. The report makes the case for reinvigorating civic infrastructure as a complement to existing institutional reform and bridge-building efforts. The panelists will discuss a wide range of scholarship to argue that healthy civic infrastructure – what the report refers to as “collective settings” - exhibits four key features: 1) They are designed with shared governance structures that engage participation across a wide group of stakeholders and make transparent power-sharing agreements; 2) They have institutionalized mechanisms for accountability so that all those affected have a chance to co-create solutions, 3) They feature public relationships that embrace difference; and, 4) They celebrate open-endedness and experimentation. The webinar will dive into the strengths and challenges of institutional reform, bridgebuilding, and collective settings work, to make the case that the democracy field will be better served by strategies that advance all three kinds of paradigms.

Whether they are elected, appointed, or career civil servants, the people who make up our local-, state-, and federal-level institutions make a considerable impact on representation and trust in government. We entrust these individuals to make our government more effective, responsive, and accountable to the diverse constituencies they serve. Yet all too often these officials do not share the identities or lived experiences of the communities they represent. This includes gender, race, and ethnicity as much as it does education level, geography, and class. Political distrust is intertwined with failure of representation; people’s trust in government actors goes down when they perceive that those actors do not share their values and interests.

While the federal workforce as a whole is actually about as racially diverse as the U.S. population, people of color are underrepresented in senior-level positions in the federal government. Women are over 50% of the U.S. population yet only around 30% of local, state, and federal elected officials. In the U.S. Senate alone, there are three times more men named John than there are moms of minor children, and Diane Feinstein’s replacement Laphonza Butler will be only the third Black female Senator ever. Some identities are even less well represented in government, including individuals living with disabilities or who are LGBTQ, making up only 10% and .2% of elected officials at the local, state or federal level respectively.

Structural and institutional barriers perpetuate existing inequities and make it harder for underrepresented groups like women and people of color to get into and stay in government service, leaving decision-making tables devoid of their critical perspectives. What are philanthropy and civil society doing to impact representation in government at the state and federal levels? How can structural reforms that address everything from campaign funding rules to electoral systems make an impact on representation? How can philanthropy transcend the distractions of “identity politics” controversies, and instead reframe diversity in government as a nonpartisan democracy issue?

In a high-risk moment for political violence like the one America faces today, steering individuals away from political violence is a critical element of supporting the health of our democracy. There are a few key ways to approach this goal, including creating off-ramps for individuals who are being drawn into extremist spaces and ensuring violent actors are held accountable as a deterrent to would-be followers.

Join DFN’s Political Violence Working Group (PVWG) to hear from leaders working in these spaces. Their work includes tactics such as deploying targeted online advertising to steer at-risk individuals away from extremist content; creating resources for parents, teachers, mental health counselors, and others to recognize and intervene at the early stages of radicalization; brining impact litigation to cut off violent groups’ funding and momentum; and supporting legal accountability for political violence. We’ll discuss the bright spots in this work, and what resources and support are still needed to ensure our elections, communities and institutions are safe from violent extremism.

All funders in the DFN community are invited to join us for peer conversation and discussion with our featured speakers:

• Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Founding Director, Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL)

• Vidhya Ramalingam, Founder & CEO, Moonshot

• Rachel Goodman, Counsel, Protect Democracy

DFN’s Political Violence Working Group is a forum for funders interested in preventing and mitigating political violence. Members meet monthly to connect with and learn from each other and leading practitioners in the space, and to explore political violence trends, intervention bright spots, and needs in the field. Email DFN Program Director Carly Straus Chan to learn more at carly@thirdplateau.com.

Liberal democracy relies on checks and balances to ensure that political majorities do not trample the rights of political minorities. The United States has the opposite challenge today, however: countermajoritarian institutions—some written into the Constitution and others developed by custom over time–-are preventing political majorities from being able to translate public will into public policy. The Electoral College means that a candidate winning millions more votes than their opponent will not necessarily be elected president. The small-state bias in the Senate leads voters in populous states to be underrepresented in that body, and the filibuster means that even being in the majority is no guarantee of being able to enact policy.

While many revere the wisdom of the Constitution and other countermajoritarian institutions, Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky point out that the U.S. is a global exception for how little and infrequently we have updated the “pre-democratic” elements of our founding document. Ziblatt and Levitsky, authors of the best-seller How Democracies Die and the new book, Tyranny of the Minority, will join us for a discussion about the minoritarian crisis that threatens American democracy and the imperative of reforming some of our most historically-revered institutions—including the Constitution itself.

Over the last few years, the relationship between faith and democracy has been of growing interest to funders. While there has long been a robust debate in America about the proper relationship between government and religions, there is also a sustained and evolving relationship between faith and democracy. Plenty of headlines have spotlighted the ways they are influencing each other–both positively and negatively.

How are grantmakers to make sense of it all?

A newly released Funding Guide for Faith and Democracy aims to explore the role of faith communities in shaping and making American civic life, while providing a framework for funders to engage with faith communities as partners in advancing a stronger and more inclusive democracy. This guide is meant for funders who are focused on democracy and civic life and can increase their impact by engaging faith communities. It is also for funders who are already investing in faith-inspired organizations but who are seeking a deeper understanding of the unique role those organizations play in the health of democracy and civic life.

Getting voters to the polls for an election is no easy feat. It requires ensuring that voters are registered, that they are knowledgeable and engaged around the issues on the ballot, and that they have all the information they need about how, when, and where to vote. Adding to the challenge now are widespread mis- and dis-information and dwindling trust in elections and in government more broadly. Join BADF for a happy hour where we will explore the fundamental question: what does it take to mobilize voters?

Joined by Luis Lozada, CEO of Democracy Works and Tatenda Musapatike, CEO and Founder of Voter Formation Project, we’ll explore the innovative ways each of their organizations are using technology in their efforts to inform and turn out voters. Luis and the team at Democracy Works focus on providing reliable voting guidance through the websites, apps, and groups voters trust. In preparation for the 2024 election, Democracy Works will also turn their expertise towards a new challenge: making sure generative AI tools are sharing accurate information about how to vote. Meanwhile, Voter Formation Project uses long-term digital advertising strategies - including some of Democracy Works’ tools - to engage, register, and mobilize new and infrequent voters of color. For the 2024 election, VFP will be working to increase the participation of hard-to-reach Black and Latiné audiences in battleground states. Using innovative ad buying targeting techniques, VFP will place culturally relevant content directly in front of people who would otherwise not be exposed to online civic engagement and voting information.

We hope you can join us for this special discussion on Friday, Sept. 15—Democracy Day—that will highlight efforts in philanthropy to support election reporting.

In partnership with Media Impact Funders, Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE), Democracy Funders Network (DFN) and Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP), Democracy Fund will hold a one-hour virtual briefing on the intersection of democracy, elections, and journalism.

Earlier this year, Democracy Fund hosted listening sessions with a wide cross-section of journalism and elections grantees and partners. The goal was to hear directly from the field about the threats and opportunities for local and community journalism anticipated in upcoming and future election cycles. The result was powerful messages about what’s at stake in 2024 and how philanthropy can support. 

In this virtual meeting, the team will unpack major themes and takeaways with newsroom leaders, and encourage a dialogue with funders who are engaged in democracy, civic participation and have an interest in building capacity for journalism in and beyond election cycles.

Featuring:

• Dana Coester, Editor In Chief, 100 Days in Appalachia, and Professor, West Virginia University Reed College of Media

• Angelica Das, Associate Director, Public Square Program, Democracy Fund (moderator)

• Jin Ding, Chief of Staff and Operations, Center for Public Integrity

• Shaun Griswold, Editor, Source New Mexico

This member briefing is organized in partnership with Democracy Fund and co-hosted with PACE, DFN and FCCP.

Democracy Fund is an independent and nonpartisan, private foundation that confronts deep-rooted challenges in American democracy while defending against new threats. Since 2014, we have made grants of more than $275 million in support of those working to strengthen our democracy through the pursuit of a vibrant and diverse public square, free and fair elections, effective and accountable government, and a just and inclusive society.

Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE) is a member-centric philanthropic laboratory for funders seeking to maximize their impact on democracy and civic life in the United States. Our members share a belief that America will be healthier and more successful, resilient, and productive, if democracy is strong and the office of citizen is treated as central to how it functions. We believe that American democracy will thrive when all of its people are informed and engaged in the process of creating it.

The Democracy Funders Network (DFN) is a community for donors who want to learn together, build and strengthen relationships, and ultimately identify opportunities for coordination and collaboration. We convene and connect funders, curate programs, develop informational materials, and advise donors on their democracy investments. DFN serves new and existing funders in the democracy field.

The Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP) is an innovative and thought-provoking network that shares an underlying conviction that all people deserve a voice in the democratic process. We serve leaders in the philanthropic community working to further this vision with heightened attention to sociopolitical inequity and the systemic disenfranchisement of underrepresented communities. FCCP values transparency, encourages a diversity of opinion, bases our work on sound research, and encourages experimentation to improve impact.

Over the course of American history, the labels used to describe political ideologies have evolved as much as political parties have redefined their positions and membership. In some cases, these labels are even co-opted and begin to take on new meaning. The language we use to describe these developments don’t always keep up with reality; we are in one of those moments now.

In his latest book,  The Struggle for a Decent Politics, On “Liberal’ as an Adjective, political theorist Michael Walzer advocates for a renewed use of "liberal" as a modifier signifying an openness to pluralism and an element of self-restraint brought to one's various identities and views. He asks and answers: what do we gain by deploying "liberal" as an adjective rather than as a noun indicating a moral and political stance? What values does "liberal" imply, and why is it necessary that a broad community join together in defense of them?
