Nonprofits Devoted to Helping Others Vote

Nonprofits across the U.S. are working day and night to ensure that every eligible citizen has the information, tools, and opportunity they need to vote in the November 3, 2020 election. These organizations are managing high demand for their services while also facing diminishing resources due to COVID-19, scrapped in-person programs, the loss of regular volunteers, and cancelled fundraisers. It’s crucial that we show up to support these nonprofits as they step up to help our country vote!

We’ve built a list of some of the social good organizations dedicated to voter registration and education—follow the links below to learn more about their work and how you can get involved:
