United Vision For Idaho

What United Vision For Idaho does

United Vision for Idaho (UVI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1997 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho. It operates a statewide multi-issue progressive organizing network across rural, suburban, and urban Idaho communities, with national reach through its United Vision Project training program now spanning 12 states. The organization runs a portfolio of civic engagement programs built around a proprietary Authentic Relational Organizing (ARO) methodology, codified in its Block, Bridge, Build framework: Democracy 411 (civic education), Strategic Rural Organizing, Community Outreach & Civic Engagement, a Training Hub for Civic Leadership, Ground Up Innovations research, Non-violent Direct Action Training, and the Democracy in Motion documentary series. It has trained 5,000 volunteers nationally, facilitated 107,000 values-based dialogues, and reached over 600,000 people across five states, and led the community-authored Idaho People's Platform adopted across 34 states.

UVI's revenue model is grassroots individual donations routed through the Mightycause platform. The organization explicitly states it is not funded by billionaires or corporations. Its go-to-market is community-led organizing: door-to-door canvassing, community wellness checks, phone banking, virtual gatherings, and an online self-serve training platform at unitedvisionproject.org. Marketing spans a website, newsletters, social channels, community events, documentary screenings, podcasts (Idaho Voices, Taktivas), and earned regional press. UVI is led by Executive Director Adrienne Evans and operates within a dense national coalition network anchored by Peoples Action Institute and 22nd Century Initiative, alongside a dense Idaho-based partner ecosystem (Idaho AFL-CIO, Idaho Education Association, League of Women Voters Idaho, IRC-Idaho, and others).
