Maine Funder Voter Engagement Guide
Our democracy–and the nonprofit sector–depend on good government and fair and open elections. When candidates are elected by a minority of eligible voters, they may not represent or understand the issues nonprofits care about.
Nonprofits are particularly well suited to encourage voter participation among their staff, volunteers and constituents. Not only do nonprofits reach populations that are less likely to vote, but they are effective in increasing turnout among these groups—reducing disparities in who votes based on age, income, and race/ethnicity.
MANP and Maine Philanthropy Center teamed up with NonprofitVote to create a NEW Nonprofit + Funder Voter Engagement Guide, and a free webinar with proven practices.
