Protect Democracy:

Million Voters Project

Grantee: California Calls Education Fund
Purpose: to support the Million Voters Project

Give here if… you want to ensure that every Californian has a voice in shaping the state’s future.

Million Voters Project, a program of California Calls Education Fund, offers a powerful opportunity to support broad-based civic participation. The project provides community education and voter mobilization across California, with a focus on building an inclusive, representative democracy rooted in the leadership of communities too often left out of the political process.


Advance Affordable Housing

Housing California

Give here if… you want help build the public will and policy momentum needed to expand affordable housing.

California has made progress in recent years: over the past six years, the state has nearly tripled the number of new affordable homes it funds. Still, the need remains urgent, particularly for people with the lowest incomes. Housing California advances public education, coalition-building, and policy leadership toward a future where every Californian has a safe, stable, affordable place to call home.


Bolster Public Transit

Seamless Bay Area Alliance &
Bay Rising Education Fund

Fiscal Sponsor: Center for Empowered Politics Education Fund

Give here if… you see public transit as essential civic infrastructure.

Seamless Bay Area Alliance and Bay Rising Education Fund are working to protect and strengthen a more connected, equitable region. Transit connects residents to jobs, schools, health care, housing, and essential services; cuts would fall hardest on low-income residents, communities of color, seniors, people with disabilities, students, and workers who rely on public transportation every day. These organizations support voter education, community mobilization, and a stronger public narrative about transit’s role in a healthy regional economy and a thriving Bay Area.
