As the leading source of nonpartisan voter engagement information and resources, Nonprofit VOTE can provide guidance, ideas, and examples for nonprofits who want to integrate voter engagement into their existing services. Our trainings focus on how to stay in line with IRS regulations on 501(c)(3) nonprofits and voter engagement, ensuring your activities won’t jeopardize your tax exempt status. At this time, we are offering mostly virtual trainings and can accommodate groups of almost any size (depending on the type of training). Nonprofit VOTE staff are available for in person trainings on a case by case basis and costs associated with staff travel will most likely be added to the cost of the training.
