Overview

Mission

Collective Impact Action is dedicated to nonpartisan educating of voters through social media.

What it reported doing in 2023

Organize nonpartisan communication on social media to educate around voting rights and climate change. Collective Impact increased exposure of these areas of education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 81% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
