Center for American Progress
The Center for American Progress Action Fund is a progressive think-tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We are creating a long-term, progressive vision for America—a vision that policy makers, thought-leaders and activists can use to shape the national debate and pass laws that make a difference.
Our mission is to transform progressive ideas into policy through rapid response communications, legislative action, grassroots organizing and advocacy, and partnerships with other progressive leaders throughout the country and the world. The Center for American Progress Action Fund is headed by John D. Podesta, former chief of staff to President William J. Clinton and a professor at Georgetown University Center of Law.

DemocracyInAction believes that technology can be a decisive force for social change. We're a progressive nonprofit whose core activity is providing tools and strategy to other progressive nonprofits for pennies on the dollar relative to the fees demanded by the private sector. We democratize e-activism, freeing practitioners to pour resources into mission and strategy.

Zanby
Based in Minneapolis, MN, Zanby was created on the premise that community organizing and meeting sites, by their very grassroots nature, should be available to all, not just those who can afford the fees. Zanby’s vision is to provide community as software service to organizations—from small neighborhood groups to businesses to enterprise class organizations. The company launched in January of 2006 with a base set of personal and group organizing tools. In June of 2007, Zanby will evolve to offer out-of-the-box functionality typically associated with popular community platforms with a dashboard of tools that allows owners to manage the community. The Zanby suite of tools will allow organizations to easily create hierarchical, connected, networks of groups with the ability to manage, customize, brand and connect as an organization, without sacrificing a rich community of individuals.
