Democracy Fund reposted this
All By April challenged funders to move more resources to frontline election and democracy groups in the first quarter of 2024 so they could be ready for anything that might come in this election year. Democracy Fund is sharing an update, the results, and ideas about how we can build on this to combat the boom and bust cycle of election funding and build long term durable power.
The All by April campaign sparked inspiration, community, and real change this election cycle and beyond! We are thrilled to share what we learned: 📢 All by April mobilized $155 million in early resources by asking funders to make election-related grants earlier in the year. 🎯 As a result, nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations were empowered to plan and execute their election strategies more effectively, secure resources at lower costs, and engage voters earlier in the election cycle. 💭 This campaign also helped change expectations about how philanthropy can support election-related work.
