League Of Women Voters Education Fund
Founded in 1920, six months before American women won the right to vote, the League of Women Voters continues to be a leading nonpartisan voice in the fight for democracy.
Women-led, with more than a million members and supporters and more than 750 state and local Leagues around the country, the League is a trusted, nonpartisan voice in elections and voting rights.
In 2020, LWV Education Fund educated more than 6 million voters with nonpartisan election information and tools to vote. In 2024, we are poised to educate and equip even more voters with your help!

Voter Registration
We launched our largest and most diverse voter registration program in 2022, focused on young people, newly naturalized citizens, and formerly and currently incarcerated people. The latter effort represented a new campaign to engage returning citizens.
Across the country, the League collectively registered more than 246,800 voters, reaching more than 259,000 additional people with voter registration information.
National Voter Registration Day: More than 600 League events took place on National Voter Registration Day alone, fueled by over 450 volunteer teams. Registration events took place at high schools, community colleges, naturalization ceremonies, libraries, festivals, farmers markets, and even food pantries. The League remains NVRD’s largest on-the-ground partner.
High School & Community College Program: Eighty-seven Leagues focused on registering high school and community college students, holding close to 1,000 events and registering almost 22,800 new young voters ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
Registering New Citizens: Voter registration also took place at 676 naturalization ceremonies attended by League members and volunteers throughout the year, registering nearly 35,400 new citizens.
