New Progressive Coalition "Political Return On Investment" PROI Selection
Democratic GAIN is pleased to announce that we have been selected for inclusion in NPC's Victory 08 and Beyond Political "Mutual Fund." Political "Mutual Funds" are actively-managed portfolios consisting of stellar organizations working in the areas of health care, energy independence & the environment, and victory 2008 & beyond. We were selected from 120 organizations to be one of 18 organizations included in NPC's Victory 08 and Beyond Fund.
As part of the selection process, we went through an intensive analysis and 3rd-party verification. All organizations chosen for the funds were analyzed through NPC's proprietary Political Return on Investment (PROI)™ methodology, which helps contributors understand the impact of their giving.
If you've ever been faced with the overwhelming challenge of researching organizations working on the issues you care about, narrowing down potential recipients from myriad options, and wondering about the impact of your donation, then check out NPC's Political "Mutual Funds." We're proud to be part of a process that we hope will revolutionize how people like you make political and charitable giving decisions.
We're very excited about our inclusion in NPC's "Mutual Funds" and hope that many new donors use NPC's new tools when evaluating their donations.
We also very proud to be included with so many other great organizations included in this fund:
