With just 68 days before Election Day, here is our current financial picture. ZOOMING OUT: OVERALL STATS Since 2016, MVP has helped move over $124 million in partisan funds to 600+ groups in 40+ states. 2023-2024 ELECTION CYCLE Our ambitious goal for the 2023-2024 election cycle is to raise and move at least $100 million in partisan funds to grassroots electoral groups. As of August 28, 2024, we have moved over $50 million in partisan funds this cycle. WHAT IS THE CURRENT LEVEL OF NEED? We (conservatively) estimate that the grassroots electoral field has a current partisan budget gap of at least $200 million. We have directly calculated gaps of over $120 million from our own grantee partners, and this is only from an incomplete set of responses. If this all sounds like a lot, it is. But consider that the Kamala Harris campaign has raised over $540 million since July 21, and AdImpact estimates that 2023-2024 political ad spending will top $10.2 billion. HELP MVP FUND THE GROUND GAME! We need a well-funded Presidential campaign, and (to some extent) we also need outside spending on political ads. The essential missing piece is the grassroots ground game. Here are concrete examples of how our investments turn into votes on the ground, in the places and races that matter most: https://lnkd.in/gsNacuYn Local organizers are the best voter mobilizers – but right now they are deeply underfunded. We invite you to join us in changing that: https://lnkd.in/gQgXijxN

MVP was given the last word in The Hollywood Reporter's piece, "Would a Taylor Swift Endorsement Actually Impact the Presidential Race?" Our response in a nutshell: "A little Tay can go a long way, but local organizers are still the best voter mobilizers." Here’s the article — plus a few bonus quotes that didn’t make it into the published piece. https://lnkd.in/etFKa3Yk

Just weeks ago, polls showed the “Sun Belt” states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina slipping away from Biden. Now Harris has made them competitive again. Fortunately, MVP has kept the funding steady to year-round voter organizing groups on the ground in these states, regardless of the horserace.

We’re thrilled the Harris campaign is demolishing fundraising records, and we’re just as thrilled more donors are putting their money where the votes are — on the ground, with the local groups best positioned to tip the scales this November.

Moments ago, former President Trump announced J. D. Vance as his VP pick. Our message to donors is this: Trump-Vance and Project 2025 are not inevitable. We can win in 2024 if we fund local organizing like we did in 2020. Post-debate, many have already given up hope and predicted a Red Wave in November. But if the last few weeks have taught us anything, it’s that the future is unwritten – and right now we have 112 days to write it. It’s not about the parties or the candidates on the ticket. It’s about a handful of voters in a handful of swing states, the issues that move them, and the local organizers who can mobilize them. The next four years will shape the next few decades. If you felt regret after 2016 because you knew you could have done more: Join us now in funding the largest ground game in history. ### MVP is a one-stop shop for strategically investing in local organizations that win elections and transform policy.
