Overview

Mission

Engaged Voters is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization with a mission to develop informed voters into agents of change through organized post-election engagement with elected officials.

What it reported doing in 2023

Get Out the Vote GOTV & Election Mobilization: Engaged Voters executed a coordinated GOTV campaign for the 2023 Houston mayoral election. Activities included community events voter forums podcast episodes bike-to-the-polls initiatives and limited rideshare assistance. The organization tracked over 240 direct mobilization contacts and observed approximately 31% turnout among identified participants. Efforts focused on reducing participation barriers and increasing turnout among underrepresented voters.

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 100% 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
