League of Women Voters of Vermont

What League of Women Voters of Vermont does

The League of Women Voters of Vermont (LWVVT) is a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan, multi-issue civic engagement nonprofit founded on July 2, 1920, six months before the 19th Amendment was ratified. Headquartered in Montpelier, Vermont, the organization registers voters (including 500+ new citizens annually at naturalization ceremonies), hosts nonpartisan candidate forums, delivers voter education programming, and conducts legislative advocacy on voting rights, election integrity, campaign finance, redistricting, and related public-policy issues. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected at biennial conventions and operates with approximately five paid staff, supplemented by a member-volunteer committee structure spanning elections, non-citizen voting, and history/research.

The organization's service portfolio combines physical programming with digital distribution. Core offerings include voter registration at naturalization ceremonies, high schools, and prisons; the HERTZ/RADER Speaker Series co-sponsored with Kellogg-Hubbard Library; the Spotlight on Issues civic TV series via ORCA Media and CCTV; the quarterly Green Mountain Citizen newsletter; candidate forums; the Winona Smith Scholarship administered through the sister 501(c)(3) LWVVT Education Fund; and curated voter guides that link to the national Vote411.org platform. Its technology stack is conventional nonprofit infrastructure: PayPal for donations, Mailchimp for email, Zoom for virtual events, and YouTube for video hosting. The organization uses no proprietary AI systems.

LWVVT funds itself through membership dues and donations, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Vermont League members are automatically enrolled as members of the national League of Women Voters, which provides federated brand, infrastructure, and back-office support. The 501(c)(3) Education Fund enables tax-deductible giving separate from the 501(c)(4) advocacy arm. Customer relationships are distributed across the general Vermont voting public, with targeted outreach to newly naturalized citizens, high school and college students, incarcerated individuals (Vermont permits incarcerated voting), and non-U.S. citizens in municipalities that allow local non-citizen voting.
