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.

Unite America and its 30+ person team has grown to be a leader in the election reform movement. Since 2019, we have mobilized $150+ million dollars from a cross-partisan community of philanthropists to achieve dozens of policy victories across the country.

At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country, and an inclusive democracy in which leaders embrace problem-solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, we have a vision of building an organization that reflects diverse identities, ideologies, experiences, and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected, and heard. 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.
