Making Democracy Work

Roles

The League of Women Voters has three separate and distinct roles.

To conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we use funds from the League of Women Voters Education Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit educational organization. The League of Women Voters, a membership organization, conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation.

Action Advocacy

  • Action/Advocacy: we take a stand on issues when supported by League positions.

Citizen Education and Studies

  • Citizen Education and Studies: we study national, state and local issues in an unbiased manner and provide information on how citizens can influence public policy.

Voter Service

  • Voters Service: we make voting easier through varied voter programs and encouraging citizen participation.
