Rural Youth Voter Fund
The road to progress runs through rural America.
The Rural Youth Voter Fund is a year-round power-building project in collaboration with the Rural Democracy Initiative, Clean & Prosperous America, and Movement Voter Project. The fund supports community-rooted organizing groups focused on engaging young voters, especially young voters of color, while developing leaders and youth power in strategically important small towns and rural areas. Activating these young voters has represented the decisive margin in many close elections.
Because increased representation of young voters of color in small towns and rural areas is so important, and because it’s proven that local community organizations are most effective at reaching these voters, the Rural Youth Voter Fund identifies and supports the most creative and committed grassroots groups — high-potential groups that are often under-the-radar and under-funded.
501(c)(4) contributions to the Rural Youth Voter Fund are the most helpful, but we can also put to work tax-deductible c3 contributions for registration drives and other non-political work. Please visit this page if you would prefer to make a tax-deductible contribution. Please note that a contribution to a 501(c)(4) is not tax deductible.
Thank you for your support!
