Company Profile
Voices for Progress
Company Overview
Voices for Progress (V4P) galvanizes the advocacy of major political donors, business leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and other prominent individuals who unite to champion a healthy climate and environment, strengthen our democracy, and ensure economic and social justice for all. V4P staff engage donor members in political programming and equip them with policy information and opportunities to personally advocate through one-on-one outreach, at campaign trail events, Capitol summits, sign-on letters, and more.
V4P donor members recognize that they have an unusual amount of access to policymakers and that their views are sometimes given increased weight. Understanding this and believing our democracy shouldn't work that way, they use their positions to amplify the voices of historically marginalized communities and the concerns and solutions put forward by those who, for example, are already feeling the impacts of climate change most directly and have long experienced economic and social inequality.
V4P was founded in 2010 and has an annual budget of 2 million dollars. Our 15 staff are based in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Sacramento, and New York. Our work is currently focused on federal and CA state policy and politics. Advocacy priorities have included budget and tax policy, health care access, climate change, immigration reform, voting rights, criminal justice reform, gender equality, campaign finance reform, judicial nominations, environmental justice, and more.
