Description
Trust in elections continues to be undermined as misinformation increases and obstacles prevent voters from accessing the polls. Combined with historically low levels of trust in government, the United States is experiencing civic participation declines at an alarming rate. Founded in 1920, the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) is a national leader in nonpartisan voter engagement, with the mission to empower voters and defend democracy. With a network of more than one million supporters via nearly 800 state and local affiliates across the country, the league ensures citizens are informed about the voting process and encouraged to participate in elections. Over the coming two years, the LWVEF will focus on growing its youth programming, both through its K-12 Civic Education Initiative and by engaging with young citizens aged 18-30. This includes expansion of its successful and accessible VOTE411.org platform, which logged 9.5 million users in 2024.

Description
Elections continue to be undermined as communities are systematically disenfranchised, disinformation and misinformation campaigns are misleading voters, and obstacles continue to prevent voters from accessing the polls. With the upcoming presidential election, it is important for voters to be engaged and informed on how to protect and exercise their voting rights. Founded in 1920, the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) is a national leader in inclusive voter protection, registration, and education with the mission to empower voters and defend democracy. Through its VOTE411 program, the LWVEF provides nonpartisan and trusted election information to voters at every level of government. Through google analytics, the LWVEF in 2022 found its combined outreach efforts resulted in more than 27 million contacts with voters through advertising and social media. With Corporation support, LWVEF will continue to expand its nonpartisan voter engagement work.
