The Andrew Goodman Foundation

What The Andrew Goodman Foundation does

The Andrew Goodman Foundation (AGF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1966 and headquartered at 55 Exchange Place, Suite 402, New York, NY. Its mission is to build a sustained culture of civic participation, particularly voter registration and turnout among young people aged 18-29. The foundation was converted from a private foundation to a public charity in 2012, broadening its funder base.

AGF's core program is Vote Everywhere, launched in 2014, which places funded Student Ambassadors at partner colleges and universities to drive voter registration, education, and turnout. The program currently spans 91 campuses across 26 states plus Washington D.C. Companion programs include the HBCU Cohort for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the Puffin Democracy Fellowship, the Living The Legacy Scholarship, and the National Civic Leadership Training Summit. Programmatic delivery is supported by a digital infrastructure comprising the my.VoteEverywhere portal and two integrated tools - a Voter Registration Tool and an Absentee Ballot Request Tool - that extend the ambassador's reach beyond in-person engagement.

The business model is non-commercial. AGF does not charge universities or students for participation; student ambassadors are funded directly by the foundation. Revenue is generated through donations and grants from a diversified set of institutional funders, including the Mellon, Carnegie, Democracy Fund, Kresge, Morgan Stanley, Puffin, Salesforce, and Goodman Family foundations, with ongoing recurring support. The organization holds 11-50 employees and has earned the 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid. In 2025, 32 partner campuses received the Voter Friendly Campus Designation, and 37 campuses were recognized as 2024 ALL IN Most Engaged Campuses.

Broad incumbents

• Rock the Vote: Long-established youth voter registration and civic engagement organization with national reach. Comparable in mission and target demographic (young voters) but operates a much broader digital-first model rather than AGF's campus partnership structure.
• NAACP Legal Defense Fund: Major civil rights legal organization with overlapping voting rights and racial justice advocacy focus. Comparable in social justice mission and HBCU-adjacent engagement, but operates as a much larger legal advocacy institution rather than a campus-focused programmatic foundation.
• League of Women Voters: Established nonpartisan civic organization focused on voter engagement and education. Comparable in civic engagement mission and voter registration services but serves a broader demographic beyond college students and has a longer institutional history.
• When We All Vote: Nonpartisan voter turnout organization founded by Michelle Obama, focused on closing voting gaps. Comparable in mission to make voting more accessible and has overlapping youth demographic, but operates at a much larger national scale with celebrity-driven brand.

Direct peers

• ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge: National nonpartisan initiative of the SLSV Coalition that helps colleges and universities increase civic learning and democratic engagement. Closely matches AGF's campus partnership model and awards framework (AGF campuses already receive ALL IN recognition).
• Campus Vote Project: Nonpartisan organization that works with universities to reduce barriers to student voting. Directly comparable to AGF's Vote Everywhere model in mission, campus partnership approach, and target audience, with overlapping partner institutions.
• Fair Elections Center: Nonpartisan election law and voter access organization that runs the Campus Election Engagement Project. Directly comparable to AGF in providing voter engagement programming to college campuses, with overlapping student voter focus.
• Students Learn Students Vote (SLSV) Coalition: Nonpartisan coalition of organizations serving college students to increase voter participation. Housed the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge and awarded AGF its 2020 Equitable Democracy Award, indicating direct overlap in mission and partner network.
• HeadCount: Nonpartisan organization that registers voters at concerts, festivals, and through campus partners. Comparable in youth voter registration mission but differentiates through cultural/event channels rather than AGF's institutional university partnership model.

Emerging players

• FairVote: Reform organization focused on electoral systems and voting rights. Partial overlap with AGF's voter rights advocacy work, though more focused on structural reform issues (ranked choice voting, redistricting) than campus voter registration.
