At Blue Haven we understand that a sound economy requires sound policy and that investing alone can’t solve the world’s biggest problems.
As a family office interested in supporting long-term solutions, we are committed to helping investors leverage the powerful tools of civic engagement and public policy alongside investment capital to increase impact.
At Blue Haven, we understand that a robust democracy undergirds a strong and fair economy, which is why we invest in efforts to improve civics education, safeguard elections, and train the next generation of democracy champions. We prioritize initiatives that are widely popular with the American public but that require an extra push to win necessary lawmaker support.
An example of our work is our leadership in building Better Taxes for a Better America, a community of funders and advocates striving for a fairer tax code. Initially, Blue Haven Civics identified as a major infrastructure gap the lack of a coordinated funders table for tax reform. We dug in with partner funders and grassroots organizations to build a sustainable, long-term table to fill this gap. At the same time, we made targeted investments in campaigns to eventually win the Inflation Reduction Act, which reformed the tax code and made historic climate investments.
Our work at Blue Haven Civics goes hand-in-hand with Blue Haven’s aim of driving change for lasting social and environmental impact. We deploy a range of instruments, including grants and catalytic capital, to further these goals. We build strategic coalitions that engage advocates, voters, and policymakers on issues that will impact current and future generations. And we advance policy that will lead to greater prosperity for future generations.
Blue Haven Civics invests in the foundations of democratic practice, promoting civic engagement, enhancing transparency in corporate political spending, and engaging the next generation in the ideals of democracy.
We advance analysis to better understand and create fair, competitive markets, and advocate for better evidence-based rules, such as disclosing political spending and rebalancing the tax code.
Blue Haven Civics supports policy changes that lead to shared opportunity and prosperity. The groundbreaking research and productive partnerships that we support help accelerate change across leading institutions, including think tanks, universities, and government agencies.
