As presidential elections grow nearer, how much should your organization change your marketing strategy and how much should you keep the same? How can you make your attempts to connect with new and old donors stand out among the rush of emails, text messages, and direct mail that comes with election season? Learn about how to navigate through an election year and how to avoid common mistakes that nonprofit organizations make during this time. On this episode, host Meghan Speer sits down with Jeff Kruszyna and Joel Baugher to discuss strategies for nonprofit organizations during the election year. https://lnkd.in/g-QZ87ZF

During the last election many Native American people wanted to vote but could not do so. A number of reservations, especially the smaller ones operate on an allotment or assignment basis, and the residents often don’t have a “real” street address. The mail goes to general delivery, or into community like set of mail boxes marked with the name of the resident as the homes don’t have an address. Because of this, voting laws prevented the residents of the reservations from being able to register to vote and the residents from being sent a mail in ballot. The result is that there is a significantly and disproportionately lower number of indigenous voters than census numbers indicate. How ironic that the true founders of this land are precluded from casting a vote to support their candidate to lead this country.

In addition to providing contact from a trusted messenger, these nonprofits can engage in deeper discussions that help break down political alienation. As the data in this report shows, this voter engagement has a significant impact on overall voter turnout." Continue reading the Nonprofit Power report from NonprofitVOTE. https://lnkd.in/gXMYFZjA

📢 We’re proud to announce the launch of All by April, a nonpartisan campaign asking funders & donors to move quickly in 2024 to get election-related funding out the door.   501(c)3 organizations connect voters to the ballot box and protect the integrity of our election system. They reduce barriers to voting, combat misinformation, help recruit poll workers, and much more. ⌛️ But year after year we’ve heard the same thing from nonprofits who support the election process: “the money came too late.” ⏰ We know early funding is crucial to their work, especially for smaller grassroots organizations and those based in communities of color. When funds are received early in the year, nonprofits can maximize their efforts and: — Plan confidently — Hire and train staff — Develop better messaging and tactics — Lock-in lower-cost rates for many expenses — Use primary election process to identify concerns that need to be addressed ahead of November ➡️ Join us and make the pledge to provide early support, move election funds faster wherever possible, and encourage your networks to do the same. Our democracy will be stronger for it! AllByApril.org
