Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

We Must Vote, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established to provide factual information about the voting process, get people registered to vote, and ensure they participate in local and federal elections. Because many people feel that their vote is not important, in order to have a society of committed voters, it is necessary to teach and enlighten citizens not only of their right to vote and what it cost but also the importance of availing themselves to the process in a factual and truthful way

  • During 2023 after acquiring funding, We Must Vote Inc conducted training for employees to prepare for Voter Registration programs. We conducted 8 voter registration programs in Hinds County alone, and we did door-to-door campaigns too help people get registered in underserved communities saturated with elderly people and those who lack adequate transportation. We got 264 people registered to vote and made sure that they were all aware of where their precinct was located. We also worked with other organizations to help people get to the polls for local elections. Additionally, miscellaneous costs incurred are included in this expense.

    Expenses $112,500 · Grants $168,500

  • We Must Vote, Inc. conducted a Rural Rapid Response Initiative, primarily across the Mississippi Delta region. We visited homes and conducted meetings giving the rural residents information on voting and answering questions that many of them had about their impact. We also conducted voter registration at community colleges in rural areas. We handed out t-shirts as incentives for registration at the colleges, and we also used poll workers for the election that took place during this initiative and paid them a stipend for their work. Hopefully many of them will volunteer to work the polls when they complete their college education.

    Expenses $59,700 · Grants $61,000

  • We Must Vote conducted a Re-Entry/Parole Initiative and subsequent Expungement Clinics to assist those persons about to be released from incarceration.

    Expenses $75,000 · Grants $75,000

  • We Must Vote, Inc. conducted expungement clinics and re-entry/parole initiatives as well as college recruitment during the year. We paid stipends to college students for their assistance, and purchased tee-shirts for newly registered voters.

    Expenses $88,500 · Grants $93,500

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.
