MONTANA WOMEN VOTE

What MONTANA WOMEN VOTE does

Montana Women Vote is a civic engagement nonprofit organization headquartered in Missoula, Montana, dedicated to increasing women's participation in all aspects of Montana democracy. The organization operates exclusively within Montana and delivers programs across three primary functional areas: voter education and registration, women's leadership and policy training, and policy advocacy. Its core offerings include the Voter Guide (most recently the 2022 edition), the annual Women's Policy Leadership Institute (WPLI) — which held its 16th annual session in 2023 — the Montana Voter Registration Portal (operated via mtvr.org/mwv), the "Who's Who in Montana Politics" directory, and the Story Collection program that channels member narratives to legislators via storybooks, letters to the editor, testimony, and video.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight and appropriate to a small nonprofit: a WordPress-based website (AccessPress Root theme) hosting voter resources, policy information, and training registrations; standard social media presences on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google+; and an email Action Alerts newsletter system. There are no proprietary platforms, APIs, or paid technology products — the organization's leverage comes from community organizing frameworks, in-person training events, and printed advocacy materials distributed to legislators rather than from technology differentiation.

The organization's business model is donation-driven and volunteer-supported. All programs are provided free of charge to members and the public; the organization accepts charitable contributions to fund operations and is led by a small team of 5 employees with SJ Howell identified as Treasurer. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is community-based: top-of-funnel awareness is built through social media and website content, mid-funnel engagement is driven by the Action Alerts email list and voter guide publications, and bottom-of-funnel conversion occurs through the annual WPLI and direct advocacy engagement with Montana state legislators.
