WHO WE ARE

Act Blue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating cutting‑edge technology that fuels Democratic victories and enables progressive causes to thrive.

Our vision is simple: building change through the power of people. Since our founding, we’ve been building innovative solutions to revolutionize grassroots fundraising – if you’ve donated to a Democratic campaign or a progressive organization online, you’ve probably used our platform! We believe in putting power in the hands of small‑dollar donors by helping thousands of groups — from local candidates to national movements — mobilize their communities and create a lasting impact.

Every member of our team is deeply committed to advancing our shared mission and core values. Together, we are shaping the future of democracy.

The People & Culture team aims to establish Act Blue as a top employer of choice for people who are passionate about empowering small‑dollar donors in our country. We attract diverse, talented employees and promote an engaging, inclusive culture where team members develop, thrive and catalyze positive change.
