Rich individuals and impact investors are injecting funds into organisations that support a healthy democracy
“There’s only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box,” wrote President Joe Biden on May 30, the day a Manhattan court found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to a porn star, before the 2016 election. The verdict made him the first former US president and presidential candidate with a criminal conviction.
With about 300 participants a year, the idea is to foster new relationships during visits that transcend political differences. “We work with partisans to encourage them to do non-partisan work,” explains Rob Wilson-Black, the organisation’s president and chief executive. Like many philanthropic organisations supporting the health of democracy, FPI receives funding from individual donors, as well as from corporations and foundations.
