philanthropic venture fund that invests in candidates, campaigns,
and organizations in order to advance nonpartisan election reforms
that will foster a more representative and functional government
capable of solving America's most pressing challenges. Founded in
2014, Unite America and its 25+-person team has grown to be a
leader in the democracy reform movement. The organization has
existed in its current form, and with its current primary focus,
since 2019; in that time, we have successfully mobilized tens of
millions of dollars from scores of philanthropists to reform
campaigns across the country. Recent victories where we played a
leading or a major supporting role include: implementing Ranked
Choice Voting in NYC, the largest expansion of RCV in history;
winning a major anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; adopting
a first-of-its-kind, final-four voting system in Alaska that helped
elect one of the most ideologically diverse slate of statewide
officeholders in recent history; and helping to pass a citizen-led
ballot initiative in Nevada to implement Alaska-style reforms in
that state. We are poised to dramatically scale our impact in the
years to come. Organizationally, we are committed to building a
team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and
perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common
goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and
heard. ABOUT THE INVESTOR RELATIONS TEAMThe Investor Relations team
at Unite America is the driving engine responsible for engaging a
national, cross-partisan network of political philanthropists to
mobilize over $100M in new resources to the democracy reform
movement over the coming years.We seek to bring a philanthropic
venture capital model to scaling a movement that has, to date,
remained too disparate and undercapitalized. To do so, we serve as
a one-stop shop for philanthropists who want to maximize their
impact but do not have the capacity or expertise to conduct their
own diligence. The Investor Relations department packages
investment opportunities into a cohesive portfolio, convenes our
philanthropic community and engages prospective donors, and reports
back to them on progress and results.

2023. Applications submitted after this date will still be
reviewed, but preference will be given to applicants who meet the
deadline.
