Overview

Mission

When We All Vote is on a mission to change the culture around voting and to increase participation in every election.

What it reported doing in 2020

Volunteer activation: when we all vote engages thousands of volunteers to host and attend events, as well as, volunteer remotely online by texting prospective voters. When we all vote supports volunteers who host events by providing online trainings, toolkits and materials to help them engage their community about the importance of registering and getting ready to vote.

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 89% 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.
