- 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.
