The Democracy Alliance is a network of progressive megadonors founded in 2005 that coordinates investments and political donations to left-leaning advocacy groups, political campaigns, and organizations it has endorsed to advance a progressive agenda and counter conservative funding networks. Since its founding, the Alliance has channeled over $1 billion to liberal causes while keeping its donors anonymous. It has been described by Politico as 'the country's most powerful liberal donor club' and by The New York Times as an organization that 'channels money from megadonors... to organizations it believes will advance a progressive agenda.'
