What is The Hub Project?
The Hub Project, a fiscally sponsored project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, builds coalitions and provides resources, capacity, infrastructure, and expertise to advocacy campaigns working to strengthen our democracy.
Why do we think this project is important?
Democracy Fund Voice supports efforts to disrupt the culture, institutions, and rules of the game in order to unrig our political system and transform the fight for an inclusive, multi-racial democracy. Structural democracy reforms, such as filibuster reform, D.C. statehood, expanded voting access, and others are critical to creating a representative, multi-racial democracy.
Through its campaigns and coalitions, The Hub Project’s democracy program is leveraging a broad coalition of state and national organizations — many led by and serving people of color — to achieve meaningful structural democracy reforms.
How is Democracy Fund Voice supporting The Hub Project?
In 2021, Democracy Fund Voice approved a grant for $650,000 to support The Hub Project. In 2022, an amendment was approved to increase the amount of the grant by $200,000, for a total of $850,000.
