CA Policy Forum: Get Out the Vote - A Playbook for Nonprofits & Funders

State policy plays a powerful role in shaping the opportunities and challenges facing our communities, yet not everyone’s voice is heard at the ballot box. This webinar equips nonprofits and funders with the tools to change that. How can we help overcome barriers to civic engagement and mobilize every Californian to vote for a more vibrant future?

Join your fellow California nonprofits and funders for a guided tour of how our sector can help Get Out the Vote in 2024 and beyond:

• Discover why GOTV matters for nonprofits: Learn how increased voter turnout within your communities can lead to policies that align with your mission and empower your beneficiaries.
• Navigate the California landscape: Understand the unique voter demographics, and opportunities for successful GOTV in our state.
• Unleash your organization's power: Explore a range of strategies, from voter registration drives to social media advocacy to strategic partnerships.
• Hear from the experts: Gain insights from accomplished nonprofit leaders, GOTV organizers, and elected officials who will share their real-world experiences and best practices.

The California Policy Forum is a unique partnership between CalNonprofits and Philanthropy California (Northern California Grantmakers, Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties, Southern California Grantmakers) and the League of California Community Foundations. The California Policy Forum brings together the voice of nonprofits and philanthropy in our state and amplifies the sector's power and priorities to policymakers and experts.
