URGENT: VoteWise
The Pennywise VoteWise program offers multi year, strategic support to small grassroots voting rights organization that have been vetted and proven to be having outsized impacts in the communities they serve.
Since the last general election cycle, Pennywise has offered over $100,000 to BIPOC led, grassroots voting rights advocacy organizations. Partly due to these grants, our partners are well positioned to meet this moment of monumental political importance.
In the final lead up to the unbelievably high staked November general election we will:
- Redouble our efforts to engage our community in the broader struggle for free and fair elections and continue to support our partners working to increase access to voting in underserved communities around the country.
- Support organizations working at the intersection of voting rights and other critical issues that will be impacted by the 2024 election including reproductive freedom and protecting our planet.
- Launch our largest VoteWise fundraising drive to date. We are committed to making multiple grants and, the more we get the more we give. Pennywise will match any donation made to the VoteWise program between July and November 5, 2024 (up to $30,000).
