Unite America is a philanthropic venture fund that invests in nonpartisan election reform to foster a more representative and functional government capable of solving America’s most pressing challenges.

Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
