League of Education Voters

What League of Education Voters does

League of Education Voters (legal name: League of Education Voters Foundation) is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization operating statewide in Washington. Founded in 2001 and currently staffed at 11-50 employees, LEV's stated mission is to build a public education system that provides every Washington student equitable opportunity for success from cradle to career. The organization convenes students, families, educators, community-based organizations, school districts, state agency staff, and policymakers to advocate for community-driven, student-focused education solutions, with an explicit equity lens centering the voices of Black communities and communities of color.

LEV's core offerings are advocacy and educational programs rather than software products. These include: a Legislative Bill Tracker that monitors education-related bills each Washington state session; the Youth Advocacy Hub, a digital platform engaging young people in legislative processes; two podcasts (Putting Students First and Washington Game Changers); a LEVinar webinar series; the annual Student Advocate Awards; parent and community trainings; annual fundraising events; a resource library of budget summaries, legislative platforms, fact sheets, and issue briefs available in English and Spanish; the South Shore PreK-8 school model positioned as a practical transformation case; and a Weekly Roundup newsletter authored by leadership during legislative sessions.

The revenue model is a diversified non-profit funding mix: individual donations split across a C3 Fund (tax-deductible charitable), a C4 Fund (political/action), and a PAC, plus foundation grants and corporate sponsorships (named funders include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, College Spark Foundation, Boeing, PEMCO Insurance, Kaiser Permanente, and Alaska Airlines), plus event sponsorships for annual fundraising events, LEV luncheons, and Youth Advocacy Summits. LEV does not sell products or services and does not charge for its advocacy resources, which are distributed free via its website and digital channels.
