Overview

Mission

The Wyoming civic engagement network strives for equitable voter participation by building power in marginalized and under-resourced communities, growing the capacity of their leaders and organizations, facilitating equitable access to resources, and addressing bias in the civic engagement process.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Wyoming civic engagement network will work to increase voter participation and to create a more solid foundation for data, narrative, and organizing infastructure that fosters community, shared knowledge, and resources between partner organizations.

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

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.
