PIVOT Pooled Fund: Betting Big on People Power
We support underfunded regions to build lasting power for communities that historically have not had a seat at the table. To date, PIVOT has moved more than $7 million to 14 regional and statewide organizations, coalitions, and networks that are leading breakthrough strategies to empower communities that have long been denied a voice in elections and government.

Learning and Acting Together
PIVOT creates opportunities for organizers and funders to learn and act together, shaping a new form of participatory grantmaking where power is shared with organizers. Through our funder education work and ongoing learning sessions, we provide opportunities for funders to deepen their understanding of power-building as a driver of long term structural change.
