Overview

Mission

Upvote Virginia is a democracy reform organization dedicated to elevating the voices of Virginia voters through nonpartisan education, advocacy, and grassroots engagement.

What it reported doing in 2024

Upvote Virginia aims to modernize the electoral system while also making the government more transparent and accessible - issues include ranked choice voting, campaign finance reform, fully independent redistricting, and expanded voter access.

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 available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
