OUR 2025 IMPACT: BY THE NUMBERS

In 2025, we invested a historic $7M in Virginia to flip an astounding thirteen seats in the House of Delegates. As the top national donor in the state, our investment helped expand the balance of power from a one-seat margin to a fourteen-seat majority—the largest pro-democracy majority in the Virginia House since 1987—and shifted the momentum to pro-democracy lawmakers throughout the country.

“Virginians are feeling the squeeze from rising costs, they’ve seen the attacks on our democracy from the Trump administration, and they’ve felt the hits to their livelihoods. Thanks to the support of The States Project and their Giving Circles community, we were able to reach voters across the Commonwealth with a clear message: we’re laser-focused on lowering costs, protecting personal freedoms, and minimizing the damage coming from the Trump administration.”

— VIRGINIA HOUSE SPEAKER DON SCOTT
