PROGRAMS

Multi-State Field Program

Engaging New Voters is our flagship field program for reaching underserved voters in select states across the country.

Nonprofit VOTE supports state-based “anchors,” such as state nonprofit associations and civic engagement initiatives, which in turn recruit and support nonprofits in their state to do on-the-ground voter engagement work with the communities they serve. The sites are primarily human service nonprofits such as community health centers, food pantries, housing coalitions, and mutual aid associations. In 2022, Nonprofit VOTE supported voter engagement and Get-Out-the-Vote efforts at 144 sites across 9 states.

How it Works

Nonprofit VOTE provides technical support and funding to participating sites to build capacity for voter engagement and embrace voting and democracy as part of their missions. Participating sites provide data back to Nonprofit VOTE to measure impact.

Results

Tracked voter contacts and analysis prove that sites reach typically underserved voters and have a positive impact on turnout among these populations. Results from the 2018 program, outlined in the Engaging New Voters report, show that the lowest propensity voters had the largest turnout advantage.
