Make Democracy Work

EFA’s Make Democracy Work Program endeavors to repair and protect the pillars of a free, fair, and transparent democratic system with a focus on protecting and expanding voting access. Two examples of early grantmaking were providing support to the fight for fair districts in North Carolina and the work to re-enfranchise returning citizens in Florida.

Currently, we support grantee partners that are bolstering democratic participation among New American Majority populations and working for systemic change: this includes advocating for fair and nonpartisan redistricting, building durable community power, and advancing innovative, long-term solutions to the structural challenges facing American democracy.
