One America Movement

What One America Movement does

The One America Movement is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, legally domiciled in Maryland and operationally headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area, that partners with faith communities across religious, political, and racial divides to combat toxic polarization in American society. The organization employs approximately 20-30 national staff members (most based in D.C. but working remotely with monthly in-person meetings, plus dedicated outreach managers in Chicago and NW Arkansas/Tulsa) and has quintupled in size over the past three years under President & CEO Andrew Hanauer. Programming has expanded to over 1,200 faith communities across U.S. regions including the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest.

The organization's core offering is a multi-program platform rather than a technology product. It comprises Geographic Hubs (long-term, localized initiatives with embedded staff), the Matthew 5:9 Fellowship for Christian clergy, the Jewish Faith Network (including the Eilu v'Eilu Intensive), the Muslim Faith Network (including the Faith Cube Cohort built on six Islamic values from Prophet Muhammad's Final Sermon), Faith Over Division (workshops, facilitation guides, and youth curriculum including Digital Life Youth Curriculum), and the Lead By Faith Fellowship. Programs are informed by social science, psychology, neuroscience, and conflict-prevention research, with evaluation conducted through surveys developed in academic collaboration. Strategic research partnerships with Beyond Conflict, the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding, and More In Common underpin the evidence base.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations from individuals, foundations, and organizations; no fees are charged to participating faith communities or leaders. The organization holds Candid Gold Transparency 2024 recognition and is governed by a board chaired by Matthew Hawkins (Senior Acquisitions Editor at Lifeway Christian Resources). Operating geographies are domestic-only across multiple U.S. regions, with no disclosed international or parent-company structure.

Emerging players

• Listen First Project: Youth-focused nonprofit promoting understanding across differences through the Hear Me Out platform — adjacent mission to OAM's Digital Life Youth Curriculum, but with a younger-skewing audience.
• BridgeUSA: College-student-led organization promoting cross-partisan and cross-identity dialogue and policy work — comparable bridge-building mission focused on the next generation of leaders.
• Living Room Conversations: Grassroots dialogue model bringing together politically and culturally diverse people for structured one-time conversations — comparable depolarization mission, with lighter infrastructure than OAM.

Direct peers

• More In Common: Non-partisan research and advocacy organization studying the forces driving division and piloting interventions to build common ground — directly comparable mission to OAM, and an existing strategic partner that co-develops OAM's programmatic approach.
• Interfaith America (formerly Interfaith Youth Core): Builds interfaith cooperation on college campuses and beyond — closely comparable multi-faith bridge-building mission, though with a stronger higher-education orientation than OAM's congregation focus.
• Essential Partners: Designs and teaches frameworks for high-stakes dialogue across difference, including faith communities — closely comparable practice-based approach to OAM's workshops and intensives.
• Braver Angels: National nonprofit bringing liberals and conservatives together for structured dialogue and workshops to reduce polarization — directly comparable mission and methodology, though secular rather than faith-rooted.
• Beyond Conflict: Works on conflict resolution and political polarization with a focus on research-backed interventions; listed as a core strategic partner of OAM and operates in the same evidence-based bridge-building space.
• Convergence Center for Policy Resolution: Bipartisan conflict resolution nonprofit bringing together divided stakeholders for dialogue on policy issues; OAM board member David Eisner is Convergence's President & CEO, signaling deep operational overlap.

Others

• Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI): Nonpartisan research organization on religion, values, and polarization; not a direct programmatic peer but the leading research counterpart that OAM-style interventions draw on for evidence.
