Faith for Democracy
Support faith communities and interfaith organizations building civic power and defending democracy.
Why this portfolio works
Congregations and faith leaders are among the most trusted institutions in American civic life. This portfolio backs the faith communities and interfaith coalitions turning that trust into action — registering voters from the pews, organizing across traditions, and standing up for pluralism, dignity, and the common good.
Faith-rooted civic work takes more than one kind of organization. This portfolio combines interfaith advocacy for pluralism, congregational civic engagement, accountability organizing, and Muslim-led civic and digital organizing — so organizations working at different points in the system reinforce one another.
