    Summary of Direct Charitable Activities
    List the foundation’s four largest direct charitable activities during the tax year. Include relevant statistical information such as the number of organizations and other beneficiaries served, conferences convened, research papers produced, etc. Expenses
    1 Elections ProgramVoting is the cornerstone of American democracy, but our election system is challenged by persistent barriers to voting and unprecedented new threats. The Elections program works toward a strong and modern voting system where all eligible citizens are motivated to vote, can do so with ease, and can reasonably trust that election outcomes are legitimate. 2,939,037
    2 Public Square ProgramNo matter where they live or who they are, Americans should be able to get the news and information they need to engage in civic life, and to use their voices without fear of being harassed or silenced. The rapidly changing media landscape presents new challenges and opportunities for our democracy. 2,592,072
    3 Governance ProgramIn a time when the American public feels deeply divided and partisan politics undercut effective, representative government, our Governance program promotes the principled leadership and strong institutions our governing system needs to act in the interests of the American people in all of their diversity. 1,807,337
    4 Special ProjectsThrough our Special Projects, Democracy Found works to: strengthen investigative journalism and defend the role of a robust, free press in our public square; foster a just and inclusive society and protect those Americans whose civil rights and safety appear to be endangered in this emerging landscape; and ensure government accountability and protect our system of checks and balances. 634,530
