Our Mission and Roles
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging the informed and active participation in government. It influences public policy through education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or candidate.The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.
To conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we use funds from the Florence Ryan Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit educational organization. The League of Women Voters, a membership organization, conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation.
