Mission

WE ARE DEDICATED TO ENSURING ALL PA VOTERS CAN CAST A BALLOT IN A SAFE, SECURE AND CONVENIENT WAY.

  • SAFE AND SECURE ELECTIONS- THE VOTER PROJECT FUND COMBATS EFFORTS TO DISENFRANCHISE AND INTIMIDATE VOTERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE VOTER PROJECT FUND CONDUCTS RESEARCH TO INFORM OUR PLANNING AND PROGRAMS TO ENSURE THAT EVERY PENNSYLVANIA VOTER, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY DISENFRANCHISED, IS ABLE TO CAST A BALLOT IN A SAFE, SECURE, AND CONVENIENT WAY.

    Expenses $48,670

  • VBM- THE VOTER PROJECT FUND DESIGNED A FOCUSED VOTE BY MAIL RECRUITMENT PROGRAM IN 2022 THAT FOCUSED ON BIPOC, HISTORICALLY DISADVANTAGED AND LOW-PROPENSITY VOTERS.

    Expenses $1,383,976 · Grants $500,000

  • VOTER EDUCATION-BEFORE 2020, PENNSYLVANIANS HAD NEVER VOTED EARLY OR BY MAIL WITHOUT AN EXCUSE IN A GENERAL ELECTION. WHILE SIGNING PEOPLE UP TO VOTE BY MAIL IS CRUCIAL, WE ALSO NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THEY KNEW HOW TO USE THESE NEW VOTING OPTIONS TO AVOID DISENFRANCHISEMENT. OUR VOTER EDUCATION EFFORTS HELP TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VOTES THAT ARE INVALIDATED DUE TO THE DATE BALLOTS ARE RETURNED OR BALLOTS LACKING A SIGNATURE OR REQUIRED ENVELOPE.

    Expenses $1,553,402 · Grants $375,000

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.
