Clean and Prosperous America
About Us
Clean & Prosperous America believes in the power of hyper-local, grassroots community organizations. Small, passionate, and often youth-led, community-rooted groups are much better able to connect with, persuade, and mobilize voters than impersonal and inefficient television advertising.
We do the work to discover and vet the groups that can make the biggest impact in the most strategically important districts.
Too much funding goes to TV ads every political cycle while grassroots groups doing the truly impactful direct voter engagement work go underfunded. We also recognize there is a massive quantity of organizations, small and large, who’s primary mission is not to turn-out voters and thus don’t receive national electorally focused donors support, but none-the-less are well positioned through their membership and volunteer bases to make big impact in elections with relatively small financial support to run electoral programs. Finally we see the pace of climate action hinges on expanding commitment from legislators representing non-urban areas and in these suburban, small town and rural constituents areas young voters, 18-29, and specifically young minority voters are the most moveable voters.
We developed, launched, and validated the program that blossomed into the Rural Youth Voter Fund (RYVF), a major initiative now led by The Rural Democracy Initiative and supported by the Movement Voter Project. Recognizing that our electoral system is structurally biased in favor of rural areas, and that young voters of color are underrepresented, the RYVF supports grassroots organizations to register and mobilize young voters of color in non-urban areas.
Our new Strategic Grassroots Empowerment Fund (SGEF) supports community organizations in strategically-targeted districts that are working critical races up and down the ballot.

CaPA Founder

David Giuliani (he/him) – Founder: In Memoriam
The late David Giuliani was best known as the co-inventor of the Sonicare toothbrush and the Clarisonic skin care system, and as co-founder and CEO of both companies. David was a featured speaker at the White House Conference on Corporate Responsibility, was honored as the “United States Small Business Person of the Year” by President Clinton, and was selected as the “National Entrepreneur of the Year for Manufacturing” by Ernst & Young.
But his recent achievements may have been his most lasting and impactful. Over the last 10 years, David turned his attention to solving the problem of climate change. He worked hard to bring together expertise from all perspectives, regardless of political orientation, to identify, quantify, and address key issues. As an entrepreneur he always looked for “win-win” solutions to address climate change and improve economic and societal health.
Through Clean & Prosperous America, David galvanized funders to invest in community organizations to help unite our country in support of economic growth policies that enhance the health and safety of our citizens and the environment.
