Support Our Work

At the Center for American Progress, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans through bold, progressive ideas. Together, we can change not only the conversation but also the country. Join us.

Supporters like you are vital to advancing our mission, and there are countless ways you can help out. The easiest way to make a difference is through a tax-deductible donation—more than 88 percent of every dollar you give directly supports our policy work.

Donate now.

Right now, your gift is especially critical as Americans face a multitude of crises. Your contribution will help us:

  • Build an economy for all
  • Restore social trust in democracy
  • Advance racial equity and justice
  • Tackle climate change and environmental injustice
  • Strengthen health


We focus on these key priorities to build a more inclusive, progressive country by revitalizing infrastructure, spurring an equitable economic recovery, and ensuring Americans of every socioeconomic background have access to good, well-paying jobs.

We have maintained a four-star rating from Charity Navigator every year since 2015 for having the highest levels of fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency. When you contribute, your gift will be efficient and effective in advancing our shared progressive policies. We have also been recognized as a top 10 think tank by the University of Pennsylvania’s Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program.

Thank you for supporting a brighter future for all Americans!
