Political Power Through Community

Greater Than is a community of women who believe that politics is about more than writing checks. We bring women together to learn, connect, and take meaningful civic action. Our program gives members the context, tools, and community to make informed decisions with confidence.

Members learn together, research races, meet progressive candidates, and decide collectively where to give and how to get involved. Along the way, they build the knowledge, relationships, and habits that make civic engagement something they can sustain, not just during one election, but for the long haul.

Winning Elections Through Civic Power

Greater Than’s impact goes beyond our members. Our cohorts direct their collective resources toward progressive candidates running for state and local office. Members decide together which races and candidates to support, combining their resources to make larger, more strategic investments than they could on their own.

The result is bigger than any single election: The state and local candidates we invest in today become the national candidates of tomorrow, fighting for a better future for us all.

Our Story

At a time when some politicians tried to overwhelm and divide us, we created Greater Than to be a place of welcoming community and an opportunity to tune out the noise to focus on what really matters.

We know that the future of our democracy rests on more than just one election. It requires us to up in good times and bad. We believe that we can have a greater impact when we root our political giving in shared values and a deep understanding of the issues facing communities across the country.

Hear What Our Members Are Saying

  • I wanted to be part of a community of progressive women helping to fund candidates that can make a positive impact in their states, cities or towns. I also enjoy the camaraderie of the group and the fact that we, collectively, can discuss issues and determine what our values are to help us find candidates that reflect those values.

    — Erin, Illinois

  • When I first joined Greater Than, I was deeply depressed about the United States and the state of the world. Researching and interviewing these remarkable people who have put up their hands from all different walks of life has been inspiring and a source of hope.

    — Lora, Maine

  • Knowing that our contribution can be a boon to a candidate is also a ray of hope in these challenging times. It feels like democracy still works at the local level.

    — Marion, California

  • I am someone who passionately cares about social injustices and wants to fight to ensure equality among all people. Greater Than has given me such hope that we can change the world into better place for future generations.

    — Laura, New York

  • From a very early age, my mom told me that actions speak louder than words. I've spent a lot of time advocating for change on social media, but it's time for me to take a more active role in helping cultivate the change I wish to see in the world.
