Since 2005, our community has been guided by a simple but powerful idea: progressive donors multiply our impact when we work together.
Over two decades, we’ve delivered on that vision. Rooted in shared strategy and a long-term vision, the Democracy Alliance community has mobilized more than $2 billion to champion progressive causes, stand up key institutions, and build critical infrastructure across the United States.
Today, amid relentless attacks on our democracy and core freedoms, the relationships, resources, and collective resolve that we’ve built over two decades are needed more than ever before.
By leveraging relationships, resources and collective intelligence, the DA makes progressive giving more strategic, more collaborative, and more sustainable. Together, our donors achieve outsized impact on two levels at once: impacting the next election, and building the next generation of progressive power.
We unite the three biggest sources of progressive giving—individual donors, foundations, and unions—around one strategy table. Together, we convene movement leaders and allies to identify shared priorities and strategic openings for transformative change.
We mobilize and move money to advance those strategic priorities, seizing opportunities to build and win together in the immediate and the long term.
Building on our shared wins, we bring more donors and new resources to the table to support progressive infrastructure and advance pro-democracy work. And our movement keeps growing.
Our 2025 Fall Conference was the culmination of a year defined by urgency and pivotal opportunity.
Guided by Pamela Shifman’s collaborative leadership, the Democracy Alliance has forged winning coalitions with movement leaders and allies across the country.
This moment is calling all of us to the table. We’ve saved you a seat.
