“We fund leaders creating bold and lasting impact in their communities. But without basic systems that ensure civic participation of all communities and protect equal voting rights, our vision is not achievable.” - Anne Welsh McNulty. As Co-Founder and President of the McNulty Foundation, Anne Welsh McNulty emphasizes the urgent need to invest in democracy, as it affects every critical issue we face today. From securing fair representation to tackling climate change and reforming education. The commitment to strengthening democracy not only fosters a healthier society but also paves the way for meaningful progress in every area of our lives. A robust democracy is the cornerstone of real, lasting change.
