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

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 show up year round and in all times, good and bad. We believe that we can have a greater impact when we root our political giving in shared values and common concerns.

  • 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.

    — Marion, California

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    — Kristin, Michigan

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