Learn how your organization can support voter engagement

Join us for an informational webinar to explore tools for your nonprofit organization to engage voters both in-person and online. You’ll be equipped with materials that will help your staff and volunteers start conversations about the importance of voting in elections, assist with voter registration, and educate voters on their options for casting a ballot. You’ll also learn how to sign voters up for free, nonpartisan voting reminders. Advocating for increased voter participation is crucial to the work of many nonprofit organizations. According to Nonprofit Vote, gaps in voter participation along lines of race, age, income, and education level distort our democracy and the policy debates that flow from and inform it. Nonprofit organizations can help to ensure a more equitable and inclusive democracy by expanding voting access and amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities.

This webinar is presented by Women in Philanthropy, an initiative of the Scranton Area Community Foundation, in partnership with Nonprofit Vote, a leading source of nonpartisan resources for nonprofit organizations.
