New “Redistricting Roadmap” for Funders

Fair Representation in Redistricting (FRR) is proud to launch the Redistricting Roadmap to 2032, a new funder resource that lays out year-by-year priorities, milestones, and funding needs for nonpartisan, community-centered redistricting that advances equity for communities of color and other underrepresented groups.
Developed by FRR, the Roadmap is the result of extensive consultation, collaboration, and strategy-building with state based advocates, national groups, researchers, redistricting leaders, and funders. The Roadmap synthesizes learnings from the past redistricting cycle as voiced by those who were engaged, and is designed to help funders understand the key activities and timelines that stakeholders tell us are critical for them to advance fair redistricting in the next cycle.
The Roadmap offers an overview of the ways that community-centered redistricting work can help advance a wide range of funder goals, a summary of threats and opportunities in the coming years, a quick-reference timeline of milestones between 2025 and 2032, and a year-by-year breakdown of funding needs and actions that funders can take to support this work.
Throughout, the Roadmap reflects advocates’ assertion that there is vital redistricting work happening throughout the decade–including now!–and that it is critical for philanthropy to ramp up investment well ahead of the 2031 – 2032 cycle in order to ensure that communities are able to take full advantage of this important strategy for advancing their priorities on a range of issues, from health care to education, housing, economic opportunity, climate, and more.
FRR expects that the Roadmap will continue to evolve over the coming years, and plans to periodically update it. We welcome feedback from funders and the broader redistricting community as we continue to build this work together!
