GoVoteNYC

GoVoteNYC was organized in January 2021 to prepare New Yorkers for one of the city’s most consequential elections in a generation. Its long-term civic engagement goals are to:

• Increase voter participation & narrow participation gaps.
• Increase capacity of grantees to educate, engage, and mobilize voters.
• Strengthen coordination among organizations building a more engaged citizenry.
• Foster a “voter-friendly,” fair, and barrier-free electoral system.
• Engage NYC philanthropy in strengthening voter engagement and participation.

GoVoteNYC operates in a strictly nonpartisan manner and will provide funding only to organizations that are both exempt from tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and are a public charity described in sections 509(a)(1), (2), or (3) of the Code.

GoVoteNYC operates through pooled funds and aligned giving, providing grants and technical assistance to nonprofit partners working on nonpartisan get-out-the-vote and other civic participation activities. It is an open resource to other donors and a platform for sharing resources, information, and lessons-learned in the field.
