We spark consideration of promising pro-democracy ideas and strategies. We focus on the United States, but learn from policies and conversations in other nations. Expand Democracy had a strong opening year in our efforts to study and offer policy solutions designed to support and advance a democracy of, by, and for the people. Those efforts included the following. (1) Lifting up and evaluating ideas: We profiled nearly 100 ideas in our Substack posts and Democracy Lab podcast, authored more than 20 national commentaries, and published three new academic articles on democracy. (2) The Democracy Exchange Network (DEN): Our growing network of 175+ reform leaders, scholars, and philanthropists meets monthly to evaluate timely proposals and offer support. We hosted eleven guests, surfacing insights and building pathways from innovation to implementation. (3) Advisory groups of election officials, advocates, and scholars: We held multiple meetings with our impressive election administrators group to evaluate how proposals might affect election officials. We formed an advisory group of scholars to assist in evaluating ideas. (4) We supported other mission-aligned nonprofit organizations in their work around expanding democracy where our special skills and experience could help, including working on a book about ranked choice voting, supporting a technological innovation for administering ranked choice voting elections, and assisting aligned groups and donors with research, writing and advice on communications, strategy, and policy. 0 66732 66732 Rob Richie President 25 0 0 0 Lan Nguyen Chair 1.5 0 0 0 Susannah Wellford Vice-chair 0.5 0 0 0 William Redpath Treasurer 0.5 0 0 0 Melinda Mann Secretary 0.5 0 0 0 Ra Joy Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Laura Liswood Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Myeisha Boyd Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Diane Randall Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Lucas Richie Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Dana Dudley Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Eveline Dowling Senior Fellow 40 58000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MD Robert Richie 7401 Jackson Avenue Takoma Park MD 20912 2403932420 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 36262 36262 42500 42500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 78762 78762 0 0 43580 43580 0 0 0 0 43580 43580 35182 400 400 0 0 0 0 0 0 400 400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 79162 79162 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Office expenses;1492|Payroll software;423|Travel;418|Dues and memberships;1000|Licenses and permits;600^Total;3933^
