ICONIQ Stronger Democracy Award: $22 Million Grant Competition for Political Representation
ICONIQ Impact launched a $22 million grant competition aimed at improving political representation and increasing civic participation in the United States. The award addresses concerns about voting rights, gerrymandering, and restrictive voting laws that disproportionately affect minority and low-income voters. Three organizations were selected as recipients to enhance transparency, build multiparty democracy, and cultivate informed voter engagement.
