Welcome to the Democratizing Philanthropy Project's Power Progress Campaign 2022 Handbook!

The Power Progress Campaign is a unique collaboration between philanthropy, nonprofits, and the Democratizing Philanthropy Project that is part program, part capacity building, part public awareness, intended to support dozens of historically excluded frontline organizations working in their communities on critical issues. This site serves as the resource and information hub for DPP's #PowerProgress Campaign 2022.

Selected frontline organizations will join the Power Progress Campaign, which runs from November 1 to December 31, and start capacity-building training in October 2022. Participating organizations receive a fundraising toolkit and coaching on how to implement it for their own end-of-year fundraising campaign. Donations of up to $1,000 sent to participating nonprofit organizations are eligible to be matched by DPP, while DPP runs a national public awareness campaign about the role of historically excluded state-based power-building organizations. Participants then report their results to DPP in January 2023, and DPP pays out matching funds up to $10,000 per organization in March 2023.

A small group of contractors and DPP staff run the day-to-day operations and keep funders and participating organizations informed and engaged with the program.
