 PACE, Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement, is embarking on an exploration to encourage funders to invest in American democracy beyond political interests. They recognize a common tendency to equate democracy's success with political outcomes and aim to distinguish between democracy and partisanship. Through salons and artistic channels, they will engage leaders in discussions on the role of philanthropy in fostering a democracy larger than politics. This initiative seeks to address questions on supporting democracy without partisanship, balancing short- and long-term priorities, and understanding the health of democracy beyond political disagreement. The year-long exploration will culminate in a December event in Washington D.C. to share insights and discuss future actions. Learn more in the blog post below and read more here.
