Through grantmaking, convening, and providing guidance for philanthropy to strategically invest, the Moxie Fund works in three core strategies to counter emergent threats that undermine American democracy:

Defense of Civil Society: Moxie Fund supports efforts to ensure that the American people, and the organizations and institutions that defend their rights, can function freely and safely.
Protection of Our Elections: We support nonpartisan organizations in creating a more just, inclusive, and resilient democracy where American elections are voter-centered, secure, and trusted.
Accountability for Assaults on Rule of Law: Moxie Fund supports groups that promote legal accountability for attempts to undermine rule of law, and that engage the public in understanding the importance of defending democratic norms and institutions.
