DONATE TO ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONS FOR POLITICAL CANDIDATES

Strategic Focus: Rather than attempting to evaluate every possible program, we believe it's more strategic to fund a smaller set of deeply researched, highly effective programs. Focus for Democracy targets funding a small set of House and Senate candidates that have good chance of winning in the General Election.

About Mind the Gap

MTG brings a rigorous, evidence-based approach to political giving. We use quantitative analysis to identify the races and programs where additional funding can have the greatest impact, then help our network scale those opportunities. 

Our 2026 Investment Strategy: TAKE BACK THE HOUSE

This cycle, MTG is focused entirely on winning back the U.S House and building a large, durable majority of 235+ seats—not just the 218 needed for chamber control. That means targeting competitive, underfunded district beyond the traditional battleground where marginal dollars can change outcomes—and where most national groups aren't focused. 

Project 218 is a single, flexible Democratic PAC dedicated to building House and Senate majorities. It functions as a single, flexible investment vehicle for the entire battleground that will change its investments as conditions change between now and the November elections. Project 218 grants funds to other organizations who have capabilities in each of these areas. For more information and to contribute go to Project 218: https://app.oath.vote/donate?p=218

American Independent Radio (AIR)

MTG also recommends ongoing support for American Independent Radio.  AIR’s audio ads encourage infrequent Democratic minority voters to get out to the polls—critical in midterm cycles when turnout tends to be lower. AIR is a 501(c)(3) organization, and contributions are tax deductible.  https://app.oath.vote/donate?p=air
