About us
A stronger democracy is a worthwhile investment
With the GOP attacking voting rights and fair maps, giving
to Democratic candidates and civic organizations that can chart a more democratic path for our country is more
important than ever. But most Democratic donations don't go to the races or organizations that matter most
for our democracy. States write the rules of our elections, yet many strong candidates in winnable state races
can't compete against better-funded GOP opponents. Civic organizations working to engage voters and fight for
fair maps also lack sufficient support.
From left to right, members of New Georgia Project,
Leaders Igniting Transformation (based in Wisconsin), and Arizona Center for Empowerment. Blueprint donors
have supported all three organizations—and dozens more—to help drive civic participation and strengthen our
democracy from the ground up.
We created Blueprint so you can invest year-round in
electoral victories along with the future of our democracy. When you donate through Blueprint, your
contribution supports Democratic candidates running in competitive races and impactful organizations working
in battleground states. Over the 2020 cycle, 83% of the funds raised for candidates through Blueprint went to
races decided by single-digit margins and we made grants to over 40 civic organizations.
