The first global fund supporting non-partisan political leadership innovation.
Multitudes Foundation joins with the Better Politics Foundation and is now the Better Politics Fund. ​​​​​​
Our theory of change is grounded in the core belief that democracy is built from the bottom up, but erodes from the top down.
Who leads, how they lead, and why they lead profoundly shapes the health of our political systems.
We believe that transforming political leadership — and the conditions that enable it — can transform politics itself. It is the most powerful force for change.​
Our History
The Better Politics Fund builds on the pioneering work of the Multitudes Foundation, supporting changemakers who are building more inclusive, human and hopeful politics across Europe. Since its launch in 2023, Multitudes has become a driving force of Europe’s political innovation ecosystem, offering funding, strategic advice, practical support and a community of practice to accelerate the efforts of those reimagining what politics can be.
​​​
Now evolving into the Better Politics Fund, the mission and values remain the same, but the vision expands to a global scope, with the resources, people and ideas to amplify impact and drive systemic change.​
“This is more than a partnership, it’s a rallying cry. By joining forces, we’re not just supporting political innovation; we’re shaping the conditions it needs to thrive. We’re here to back the builders of a new politics, wherever they are, and I cannot think of a more important time to do so.”
— Gauri van Gulik, Co-Founder and Chair of Multitudes Foundation and Chair of Better Politics Fund
Non-partisan
People Focused Global
​We support bold and innovative ideas that build better politics across the political leadership impact path and among the conditions that enable it. The Better Politics Fund does not fund political parties or candidates.
We fund at every stage of the political innovation journey, from the spark of an idea to scaled solutions embedded in political systems.
We invest in political changemakers who cultivate and elevate new leaders, work to reform political systems to allow diverse leaders and new ideas to thrive, and innovate to make politics more responsive to the people it serves.
​We are committed to non-partisan innovation and ecosystem building and supporting initiatives that engage underrepresented leaders and communities..
​
Our focus is global, with Europe as a key region in 2025-2026, as we expand opportunities for political innovators worldwide.
Funders Collective
As with the Multitudes Foundation, the Better Politics Fund brings together a community of like-minded funders operating at a local, national or regional level who are ready to start experimenting with innovative and collaborative funding mechanisms.
