Overview

Mission

Making young voices and votes a powerful force in democracy

What it reported doing in 2024

Vote everywhere - a national movement of student leaders and universitypartners, worked with student leaders at partner higher educationinstitutions to register voters, identify and remove votingimpediments, and increase get-out-the-vote and other democracy efforts.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
