President of the Democracy Fund Joe Goldman offers both urgency and clarity for donors concerned about America’s democratic backslide into authoritarianism in this conversation. As the second Trump administration consolidates power, Goldman offers a practical three-part framework for strategic, democracy-focused giving: strengthening guardrails, powering breakthrough strategies, and working toward reconstruction.
In a conversation that grapples with difficult questions about donor fear and the paralyzing sense of overwhelm that many feel when considering the breadth of threats to democracy right now, Goldman shares specific examples of organizations doing critical work, and an array of ways that donors can get involved. His message is clear: “Courage breeds more courage. Solidarity breeds more solidarity.”
