Turning Non-Voters into Voters
Supporting Grassroots Organizations
Founded in 2017, Airlift is an all-volunteer fundraising organization that believes in year-round grassroots organizing. We raise money from generous donors like you and give those funds directly to Airlift’s curated Partner Groups.
The nonprofit grassroots organizations we support are located in battleground regions. With our funding, these organizations bring local people into political action. They develop leaders and build statewide political coalitions that give them a voice in creating the policies that govern their states.
Democracy for All
Airlift was founded on the idea that to make real political change and ensure that democracy works for all of us, we must involve everyone in our communities. Our goal is for everyone to participate in creating policies that have a positive impact on our communities and to have a voice in creating lasting change.
Making a Difference!
Thanks to grassroots organizing, the last several years have seen massive increases in voter turnout by young people and people of color. When these groups vote, they decide elections. Airlift-supported Partner Groups brought hundreds of thousands of new voters to the polls in the states that have the greatest impact on election results. This is our work. We hope you will join us!

When people are engaged by issues that matter, they vote.
