Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Vote.org's primary purpose is to build web-based technologies that remove barriers to voting and increase voter turnout.

  • GOTV & Voter Registration: Vote.org leverages multiple complimentary, data-driven, nonpartisan and cost-efficient tactics to reach voters and encourage them to participate in elections. These include sending tens of millions of election reminder emails and texts to voters, running a multi-state terrestrial and streaming radio program, engaging students on campus and on digital platforms. These tactics and others led Vote.org to help register over 350,000 new voters in 2022, the most of any independent organization.

    Expenses $14,590,091 · Grants $10,000

  • Civic Technology: Much of Vote.org's work is powered by its online tools, the Voter Engagement Toolset. These tools help voters check their registration status, register to vote, learn what's on their ballot, and get other critical voting information straight from their phone or computer. Our technology has served tens of millions of voters since our inception, and hundreds of groups across sectors rely on our technology to serve voters. We have a strong team dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, user experience, partner experience, compliance, and analytics.

    Expenses $1,302,530 · Revenue $228,542

  • Partnerships: We build partnerships with corporations, nonprofits, labor unions, celebrities, athletes, sports teams and leagues, and ordinary people to help get our tools and information in the hands of voters. Our partnerships seek to meet voters where they already are, in-person or digitally, with easy to use, nonpartisan voter information about where, when and how to vote.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
