Patriotic Millionaires

What Patriotic Millionaires does

Patriotic Millionaires is a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan advocacy organization founded in 2010 and headquartered at 1629 K Street NW, Washington, D.C. The organization operates as a coalition of high-net-worth Americans — members with annual incomes above $1 million or assets above $5 million — who advocate publicly for progressive taxation, living wages, and campaign finance reform. Its policy platform, branded as The MONEY Agenda, is structured around three pillars: Tax the Rich, Pay the People, and Spread the Power, and is operationalized through the wholly owned grassroots arm TEAM MONEY and an extensive coalition that includes AFL-CIO, AFT, NEA, SEIU, MoveOn, Demos, Americans for Tax Fairness, Oxfam America, and the 100+ organization Living Wage for All Coalition. The organization is 100% member-funded and does not disclose dues or membership counts.

The organization operates no technology platform or proprietary software product; its "products" are advocacy campaigns, legislative proposals (notably the Working Americans' Tax Cut Act introduced in March 2026 by Senators Van Hollen and Kelly and Rep. Beyer), two published books ("Tax the Rich," 2021; "Pay the People," 2024), a documentary ("Deciders: The Movie" and Abigail Disney's Sundance-premiered "The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales"), an annual Spring Symposium, a weekly "Closer Look" newsletter, and a Shopify-based merchandise storefront. Distribution is concentrated on earned media, eight social platforms, coalition-led campaigns, and a network of independently operated affiliates in Canada and the UK.

Revenue mechanics consist solely of member dues and contributions — no institutional funding, grants, or earned revenue streams are disclosed. The organization is governed by a Board chaired by former BlackRock Managing Director Morris Pearl, with Erica Payne as Founder and President, and operates with an 11–50 person staff supplemented by a network of high-profile members (Abigail Disney, John Driscoll, Bob Lord) and senior policy staff (Sarah Christopherson, Emily McCloskey, Adam Shubert as COO). Because Patriotic Millionaires is a member-funded 501(c)(4) advocacy organization with no public financials, traditional commercial metrics such as ARR, valuation, or revenue per employee are not applicable.
