The Omidyar Group is a diverse collection of companies, organizations, and initiatives that strive to catalyze social impact. Our approach is grounded in Pierre and Pam Omidyar’s belief that we are all part of a global community, and that the impact of our individual choices reaches far beyond our own lives. When these choices are positive, we believe they foster a thriving world where people are free to act on their inherent capabilities, and are supported by institutions that are accountable, responsive, and just. The organizations, initiatives, and people of The Omidyar group are supported by a dedicated team of professionals known collectively as TOG Services, which provides support in the areas of Governance and Guidance, Exploration and Incubation, Strategic Frameworks, and Marketing Communications. |

At the heart of our vision for the future are three core commitments: fostering more effective governance in the United States, modernizing our election and campaign finance systems, and strengthening our media to help people understand and participate in the democratic process. The Democracy Fund is affiliated with Democracy Fund Voice.
