We help more than 65 nonprofits statewide maximize their advocacy by providing civic engagement tools, resources, and technical support needed to grow voter and community participation; helping them create and sustain grassroots efforts; and building stronger/broader coalitions throughout the state. Our programs share a common goal: build civic engagement in and with communities historically excluded and disengaged from political and decision-making processes impacting their lives.
By investing in nonprofit and community leaders, we are building a strong infrastructure to support year-round, ongoing civic engagement efforts – not just during elections, but continuously, to build momentum and effect lasting change.
With your support, we provide grant funding, training, access to data and technology, and leadership pipeline opportunities for nonprofits to engage and educate their communities about the decisions that impact their lives!
