Prominent members include George Soros, [[Tom Steyer]], Peter B. Lewis, Susie Tompkins Buell, trial lawyer Guy Saperstein, trial lawyer Fred Baron, movie director Rob Reiner, Norman Lear, Drummond Pike, Rob McKay, Rutt Bridges, Patricia Stryker, Rob Glaser, Rob Johnson, Anne Bartley, Jonathan Heller, Charles Rodgers, Gail Furman, Davidi Gilo, Rachel Pritzker Hunter and the Service Employees International Union.<ref>http://www.hawaiireporter.com/story.aspx?472778da-feca-4958-ac19-3031f2434dce</ref> To become a "partner," as the members are referred to internally, requires a $25,000 entry fee and annual dues of $30,000 to cover alliance operations as well as some of its contributions to start-up liberal groups.

===Black Lives Matter===
In 2015, [[Democracy Alliance]], led by [[George Soros]] and Taco Bell heir Rob McKay, recommended “its donors step up check writing to a handful of endorsed groups that have supported the Black Lives Matter movement.” BLM Movement groups which received support from the Democracy Alliance were the Black Youth Project 100, the Center for Popular Democracy, the Black Civic Engagement Fund, Color of Change and the Advancement Project.<ref>Vogel, Kenneth And Wheaton, Sarah.

Additionally, the [[Ford Foundation]] and the Borealis Philanthropy created the Black-led Movement Fund, a funding vehicle for the Movement for Black Lives, the coalition of groups responsible for the extremist “Vision 4 Black Lives.”<ref>[https://borealisphilanthropy.org/grantmaking/black-led-movement-fund/ “Black-led Movement Fund.”] Borealis Philanthropy. </ref> The fund has received “pledges of more than 100 million dollars from liberal foundations and others eager to contribute.”<ref>Richardson, Valerie.
