About The Campaign

​

The #PowerProgress Campaign is a unique collaboration between philanthropy, nonprofits, and the Democratizing Philanthropy Project that is part program, part capacity building, part public awareness, intended to support dozens of historically excluded frontline organizations working in their communities on critical issues.  Power Progress is designed to help catalyze broad public support for your organization and the entire ecosystem of progressive organizations working to build lasting power across the country.

​

The theme of this year's Power Progress campaign is Collective Liberation. We have 17 incredible organizations joining us this year from coast to coast. These organizations are moving the needle forward on issues that matter, like worker's and immigrant's rights, voting rights and engagement, climate justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and youth leadership development. The organizations are working hard to power progress in states where it's needed most, like Texas, Florida, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. Learn more about the organizations participating in #PowerProgress2023 here!

  • Access to a Slack channel for peer networking and coaching, as well as all workshop recordings and materials in a shared workspace 

  • Up to $10,000 in matching funds for donations of up to $1000 each

  • Weekly workshops in October to help plan and prepare for the campaign

Donations of up to $1,000 sent to participating nonprofit organizations are eligible to be matched by DPP, while DPP runs a national public awareness campaign about the role of state-based power-building and historically excluded organizations. Participants then report their results to DPP in January 2024, and DPP pays out matching funds up to $10,000 per organization in March 2024.
