Mission and programs · 2024

• SAVE DEMOCRACY INC. CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ON ELECTION SYSTEMS, INCLUDING A VARIETY OF EXISTING SYSTEMS, SUCH AS STATE-FUNDED PARTISAN PRIMARY ELECTIONS, AND ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS, SUCH AS A SINGLE NON-PARTISAN OPEN PRIMARY IN WHICH ALL VOTERS AND ALL CANDIDATES ARE TREATED EQUALLY. RESEARCH AND EDUCATION COVERS THE EFFECTS THESE SYSTEMS CAN HAVE ON VARIOUS PROCESSES OF GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING PARTICIPATION RATE AND INCLUSIVITY AMONG VOTERS, AND THE PROPENSITY AND ABILITY OF ELECTED OFFICIALS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS COLLABORATIVELY ON BEHALF OF ALL THOSE THEY REPRESENT AS OPPOSED TO ONLY A PORTION OF THOSE THEY REPRESENT. WE ENGAGE INTERESTED CITIZENS IN EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS THAT EXPOSE THE DEFICIENCIES OF OUR CURRENT ELECTION SYSTEM AND EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE ELECTION STRUCTURES THAT REWARD, RATHER THAN PUNISH, COOPERATION AND COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING AMONG ELECTED OFFICIALS. WE EDUCATE AND ENLIGHTEN A DIVERSE NON-PARTISAN COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN VOTING SYSTEMS AND THE PROSPECTS FOR MAKING GOVERNMENT MORE EFFICIENT, FAIRER, AND MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF ALL CITIZENS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
