Political Power Through Community

Greater Than is a community of women who want to do more than write a check. Members pool their resources, research races, interview progressive candidates, and decide together where their support can matter most. We focus on state and local races where collective giving can make an outsized difference.

All you need is a desire to be part of the solution. Our program gives members the knowledge and confidence to make thoughtful choices without having to be experts first. It’s a more personal, informed, and connected way to participate in politics.

Election-Changing Investments in Candidates Who Transform Communities

We create groups of everyday women — teachers, students, moms, lawyers, healthcare workers — who pool their resources together to invest in candidates running for state and local offices.

Our investments help bolster progressive power where it’s needed most, and each cohort decides how and where to prioritize their giving. 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

Greater Than’s roots go back to 2016. That year spurred many progressive women to action with history-making results in 2018. But, when the champagne toasts ended, many of us felt confused about our direct impact.

We created Greater Than as a community for education and organization in political giving to have greater collective impact and, at the same time, fully understand what our contributions produce. Greater Than is a group of progressive women who coalesce each month in a “book club with teeth” where we make meaningful, modest investments to ensure a progressive future.

Hear What Our Members Are Saying

  • I love participating in Greater Than's process of selecting candidates because it provides hope that candidates at the state and local level are entering politics to help their communities. So many people sacrifice good, stable jobs to run for office because they want to directly impact their district or state

    — Marion

  • 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

  • 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

  • Being part of Greater Than has inspired me to try to do more at my own local level.

    — Lora
