Our Giving Circle Dollars’ Impact (7/30/23)
We Know Our Giving Circle Dollars Make a Difference! We Now Have the Data To Show It!
Last year The States Project worked with a top research organization to design an experiment to help understand the impact of TSP’s work at scale. The States Project was often the only national funder in the chambers where they worked, and they were also the largest funder to candidates and caucuses many times over.
Six Percentage Points!
That’s how much The States Project’s electoral work increased vote margin in the districts they supported last November, according to results from The Analyst Institute’s independent analysis.
“The analysis projected that Democratic vote share was likely about 6 points higher in districts in which [The States Project] invested than it would have been otherwise.”
