Empowering employees as citizens and promoting our communities’ civic health is good for our businesses and our country.
Advancing popular, bipartisan policy solutions at the national, state, and local levels.
Promoting thoughtful discourse on government’s role in a healthy business climate — and the role of business in promoting civic health.
Leadership from the business community is more important than ever. Business for America has a strategic plan to mobilize the business sector, put meaningful solutions on the national agenda, and generate the support necessary to drive change.
As a nonpartisan business alliance dedicated exclusively to helping government work better for everyone, Business for America is purpose-built to help business leaders make an impact.
At the core of our mission is a deep commitment to helping business leaders play a greater role in civic life. And by adding a nonpartisan business perspective on government and election reform, we can move past the gridlock and renew the good-faith collaboration that our polarized political climate desperately needs.
If you share our conviction that America’s future is on the line, we invite you to be part of this important endeavor. Together, we will transform our nation’s political landscape and establish a government of which we can all be proud.
Companies of all sizes are embracing the idea that businesses should not only deliver value to shareholders, but also be a force for good in society. But the potential for the business community to provide a leadership role in strengthening representative democracy has been mostly overlooked — until now.
We’re serving as a guide to the growing movement for greater voter participation, reduced partisanship, increased civility, and healthy democracy. With an understanding of each unique brand, corporate purpose, and stakeholder group, we help craft innovative new approaches to align corporate goals with our country’s civic health.
At the top of our agenda is helping businesses engage their employees, customers, and community with nonpartisan initiatives such as the business-led Time To Vote program for Election Day.

Our goal is to elevate the business voice for change and put popular, bipartisan improvements to our political system at the top of the agenda — and win. By making the business and economic case for nonpartisan improvements to government and elections, we can help to move past the gridlock and renew the good-faith collaboration that our polarized political climate desperately needs.
We’re leading a multi-faceted educational and advocacy initiative to catalyze the business community to help boost voter engagement, modernize elections, and strengthen representative democracy — thereby reducing barriers to participation in elections, building greater trust in our institutions, and creating a better business climate. In-person and online educational events help educate business leaders and companies around the country about these political reforms and how to get involved.
Increasing the confidence that citizens have in the election system, removing barriers to voting, and overcoming partisan divides will help boost our stakeholders’ civic engagement, strengthen representative democracy, and improve the business climate.
Our goal is to support national rule changes to ensure elections are both secure and accessible. The result is that more voters participate and have confidence that their vote will be accurately counted and safe from cyberthreats. By upgrading voting equipment, requiring voter-verified paper ballots, allowing voters to register securely online or automatically at the DMV, and offering no-excuse absentee ballots, the number of people participating will grow. We work with partners nationwide to identify opportunities for the business community to weigh in and advance commonsense improvements.
