Become a monthly donor and help strengthen the progressive talent pipeline

We are committed to building the most robust and diverse talent pipeline the Democratic party has ever seen. And it’s all completely free or low cost because we think that if Democrats want to win, they need to draw talent from all backgrounds and all corners of the country.


Help us accomplish this important work by becoming a monthly donor. Your donation will help provide a scholarship to Arena Academy, a best-in-class course to train the next generation of progressive campaign staff at no or low cost to students.


It costs $300 to train a future campaign staffer and 67% of participants receive a full or partial scholarship. Generous donors like you help remove financial barriers for the best and brightest to attend Arena Academy. We are planning to host seven Arena Academies between now and the 2022 midterms and train 1,500 people.


By giving, you'll be supporting the 62% of students who are women and 55% who are people of color. Become a monthly donor to give future campaign staff the professional knowledge and connections to meaningfully transform politics on the left.
