In every state where The States Project is working to build or defend power this November, Giving Circles are stepping up to fuel our work. These are folks who understand the power of state legislatures and are organizing their friends, family, and neighbors to collectively direct resources to the state legislative races where they’re needed most.
100% of the amount raised by Giving Circles for The States Project’s electoral work goes out the door to fuel evidence-based tactics in strategically targeted states.
Now, with just a few weeks left until their fundraising deadline, these Giving Circles need your help to close their gaps.

This long-time Giving Circle led by Ilene and Linda has expanded its focus to Iowa, after co-leader Linda moved back to her hometown of Des Moines last year.
