Unite America

Nonpartisan fund investing in elections reform

Overview

Unite America is a non-partisan philanthropic venture fund that supports democracy reform by funding candidates, campaigns, and organizations. Its work aims to create a more representative and functional government by advancing nonpartisan election reforms such as anti-gerrymandering efforts, top-four nonpartisan primaries, and other ballot initiatives. The fund mobilizes significant philanthropic capital from a broad base of donors to drive reform campaigns and reforms at the state and local levels. It differentiates itself through its cross-partisan, voter-centered approach, commitment to diversity and inclusion within its team, and a focus on scaling practical reforms that bring problem-solving back to the political process. The goal is to scale impact to build an inclusive democracy where leaders prioritize solving problems over partisan divides and where government better reflects the diverse identities and perspectives of the American people.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • January 27, 2026 polling showed 71% support for requiring open primaries.
  • DC Council funding open primaries in June 2026 expands a major reform beachhead.
  • Its 2026 Institute report ties all-candidate primaries to better governance and citizen outcomes.

What critics are saying

  • California repeal initiative filed May 11, 2026 threatens its flagship top-two model.
  • Oklahoma and other states keep proving ballot-reform fights depend on opaque, expensive campaigns.
  • If open-primary reforms stall, Unite America becomes a niche advocacy shop, not a movement leader.

What makes Unite America unique

  • Unite America invests $150M in nonpartisan election reform, centered on open primaries.
  • Its Unite America Institute publishes polling and research, including a January 2026 survey.
  • It backs real-world wins in Alaska, California, Louisiana, and Washington.
