Help VotER Incorporate
Incorporation into a nonprofit structure that advances voter registration mission
Posted April 15, 2020
Background & Context
We are moving fast to do healthcare based voter registration and have raised funds and in order to use those funds we have developed a partnership with a nonprofit. Read more: https://vot-er.org/press/. We are using this nonprofit as our fiscal vehicle. The success of our project at this time is evident and we are very much interested in now switching gears a little bit. We would like to back away a little bit from the actual task and actions we taken to forward our mission and instead devote some energy into nonprofit formation. We do not have to break any contracts or re-negotiate any structures with the original Nonprofit we used as a fiscal vehicle.

Wrap Up
A Healthier Democracy
At A Healthier Democracy, we believe that health care workers and health care settings have untapped power to drive positive social change. We are the home for organizing at the intersection of health and civic engagement. Our flagship program, Vot-ER, develops nonpartisan civic engagement tools and programs for every corner of the healthcare system—from private practitioners to medical schools to hospitals. Our work is driven by a community of health care professionals, organizers, clinical students, and technologists united by a common vision: healthy communities powered by inclusive democracy. Together, we’ve expanded Vot-ER programs into over 500 hospitals and clinics and helped tens of thousands of Americans register and prepare to vote. We are gearing up for the 2024 election season, where we hope to help 75,000 patients get ready to vote in November's election.
