VoteWise
Pennywise VoteWise Program
Pennywise recognizes that virtually all aspects of positive social change depend on free and functional democracies. We are, therefore, committed to supporting voting rights and access to voting advocacy. Our VoteWise program offers multi-year operating support to grassroots, BIPOC-led voting rights organizations operating in underserved communities around the country. We have active partners in seven states and work closely with regional and national voting rights advocacy leaders.
