Our Strategy
Unite & Renew is a philanthropic fund, built to be relentless “smart money” in an under-resourced philanthropic sector: defending and renewing the American system of democracy.
TARGETED INVESTING
At Unite & Renew, we invest in nonpartisan structural protections and reforms, not partisan candidates or policy outcomes. There are numerous complex drivers eroding liberal democracy, so defending and improving it is a multi-front battle. We go deep in two areas, adhering to a rigorous set of investment criteria, seeking always the intersection of actions that are both high-impact and politically achievable.
Defend core institutions of democracy:
Defending and strengthening core institutions of democracy, especially free, fair, nonviolent elections through legal, legislative, and political action.
Change behavior by changing incentives:
Today’s electoral systems, like partisan primaries and gerrymandering, reward extremism and punish competence. Voters want these systems changed, and our teams are making those changes happen.

Join us if you’re ready to come together — across party lines — to help protect and renew American democracy.
