Due to their reputation as trusted messengers with deep community roots, nonprofits are uniquely well-positioned to reach underrepresented voters and build a more inclusive and equitable democracy.
Nonprofits can be found in every city and local community across the nation. They tackle a wide array of critical issues, from healthcare and education to environmental conservation and disaster relief, bridging gaps unmet by the private sector or government. They are vital to our nation’s civic and social fabric as community institutions with a deep well of relationships and long-term roots in the communities they serve. And as this report shows, nonprofits can and do also foster a more inclusive electorate and in turn a healthier democracy for all of us.
