for a more equitable world
Expanding opportunity through civic engagement and equal justice⚖️
Established in 2017, Dignity Fund is a forward-thinking private philanthropic organization that aspires to protect democracy and build a more equitable world by championing voting rights, ensuring equal access to justice, and expanding civil rights for marginalized people and communities.
We invest in nonpartisan 501(c)(3) initiatives focused on civic education, voter participation, and community leadership—strengthening democracy at the local, state, and national levels. We partner with nonprofits and philanthropies, but do not solicit or accept outside donations.
By working together, our strategic partnerships encourage innovation and foster solutions that overcome systemic barriers and create lasting change.
Whether you are a nonprofit organization or individual donor eager to make a positive impact, we invite you to join our community of change-makers. Together, we can build a more equitable future for all.
