The Together We Win Fund is a special fund curated by the Movement Voter Project supporting leading grassroots organizations in 15 states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Texas. We have endorsed candidates for the U.S. Senate in each of these states.
These groups, committing to reaching and often led by people of color, women, immigrants and youth, are doing the critical work in their communities to register and mobilize voters.
Through this and the next several cycles, TogetherFUND plans to support grassroots organizations that share our values. We will work to ensure that generational responsibility, servant leadership, grassroots engagement and the value of progress through collaboration are central features of our politics and the Nation itself.
