Organizations & Projects

1. Business for America

   1. The organization: Business for America is a nonpartisan business organization advancing solutions to boost civic engagement, ensure election integrity, reduce political polarization, and modernize government.
      
   2. The project: Create ways to better engage and communicate with our business contacts, keeping their needs in mind as we aim to mobilize them and their companies to work with BFA. We really need to figure out processes and tools that will enable us to scale.
      

2. New Politics

   1. The organization: New Politics is a 527 organization dedicated to getting servant leaders elected to office. We work with veterans and national service alumni (TFA, Peace Corps, Americorps, City Year, etc.) to support them in building robust and competitive campaigns at the federal, state, and local level. Our belief is that a lack of electeds with service backgrounds (e.g., veterans currently at an all time low in congress) has led to bitter polarization in politics where defeating political opponents comes at the expense of solution-oriented governance.
   2. The project: Systematizing and scaling New Politics’ process for recruiting new talent into the political arena.
      

3. Bridge Alliance

   1. The organization:  Bridge Alliance is a coalition of ~100 organizations working together to promote healthy self-governance in our democratic republic. Bridge Alliance member organizations span the ideological spectrum but are unified to work efficiently, outside arbitrarily defined political lines.
      
   2. The project:  Addressing the systemic racial divides that exist in civic engagement work by supporting Bridge Alliance’s efforts to achieve greater racial diversity in its own membership.
