About CHAMPION
Whether you are passionate about helping your community or want to make systemic change on the country's biggest issues, we're here to help.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
We all deserve agency
to shape our future.
We began like everything, as a conversation between like minds. We knew that we're only as powerful as our power is strategically directed. We knew that change only happens when ordinary people rise as champions in the most crucial moments. Could we help? Lend our expertise? Help lift you up as you rise? We were born of hope. Hope that we can build a better future. Together.
METHODOLOGY
Tap in to our Engine
to champion your passion.
With the use of big data, relationships, and expertise, Champion helps you make an impact in a way that easily fits into your budget and lifestyle. Our services are anchored by our Campaign Prioritization Engine (the Engine). The Engine identifies the places where the biggest changes can and must happen, the policies that can make the most impact, slates of policymakers who can make the change, and the people leading organizations who can push local victories over the line. We use data science to predict the likely outcomes and give you the best chance of winning.
We work with experts in the field and use surveys to select candidates in tight races where your issues are on the ballot and every dollar matters. We recommend organizations that use proven techniques to drive social change.
