Our mission
More voices. More votes. More democracy.
Rise Forward Foundation makes it easier for communities of color and first-time voters to participate — reaching people where they are, in competitive places where every vote counts.
Our work
One registration. Decades of impact.
Our work focuses on two priorities in 2026 — registering and mobilizing voters.
A voter registered today doesn't just vote in 2026 — they vote in 2028, and every cycle after.
