Program accomplishments

• THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, INC. (THE LEAGUE) IS A NONPARTISAN PRO-DEMOCRACY ORGANIZATION WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE INFORMED AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNMENT AND THE ELECTORAL PROCESS FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF NEW YORK CITY. IT NEITHER SUPPORTS NOR OPPOSES CANDIDATES OR POLITICAL PARTIES. PARTICIPATION IS OPEN TO ALL PERSONS WHO SUBSCRIBE TO ITS PURPOSE.THE FOLLOWING ACCOMPLISHMENTS WERE MADE IN FISCAL YEAR 2025 Voter Outreach and Education ProgramIn fiscal year 2025, the Leagues programs continued to focus on its core mission to promote informed and active participation in civic life, primarily through voter outreach and civic education and engagement events. We deployed our Vote Louder, message to combat voter apathy and convince prospective voters that their voice matters. We continued our partnerships across many organizations in our efforts to find new ways to reach prospective voters. In September we held our fifth celebration of Constitution Day and sent dozens of volunteers out to 15 low voter turnout neighborhoods throughout NYC with copies of the Constitution in English, Spanish and Chinese handing out a total of 11,000 booklets.Fiscal year 2025 included the general election for president and other federal offices in the fall of 2024 and the ranked-choice primaries for mayor and other NYC offices in the spring of 2025, so it was a very busy time for the Leagues voter outreach and education efforts. To that end, we created and distributed thousands of palm cards for each election, recruited and trained dozens of volunteers, and participated in more than 100 voter registration and Get Out the Vote events throughout New York City. Volunteers also wrote thousands of postcards that were mailed to addresses in low voter turnout districts.
  Expenses $115,152
• Membership and Volunteer ManagementAs a membership organization led and run by volunteers with minimal paid staff, recruiting, activating, and engaging with our volunteers and community partners is a vital and ongoing component of our work. Our voter outreach and civic engagement activities are all volunteer run, and we field requests for voter registration events, training, and speakers through our website throughout the year, not just during election season. This fiscal year those events reached over 10,000 New Yorkers. Our student internship program has enabled us to train volunteers and activate on local college campuses during the academic year and offer research opportunities over vacation breaks.
  Expenses $35,624
• Civic EngagementCritical aspects of the League of Women Voters of NYC outreach are the speaker events developed through its Speakers Bureau and Program Committee. In FY 2025, the Speakers Bureau held dozens of civic engagement workshops with community-based organizations throughout NYC both in person and virtually. These presentations seek to help participants create their own voting action plans: from registration to accessing the polls, developing strategies to influence elected officials through lobbying and advocacy; and share ideas with participants for becoming active in their home communities. The Speakers Bureau also collaborates with the Leagues Committee for Criminal Justice Reform to develop the Returning Citizens Project, incorporating information from our Civics 101 presentation, as well as information about the origins of the voting rights movement. The Program Committee organizes a monthly Lunch with the League speaker series, open to the public. Invited guest speakers included elected and appointed officials and experts on topics of interest including Congestion Pricing, NYCs finances, The Evolving Role of Women in Politics, Whats on the Ballot, and the Citys housing crisis.In addition, the League continued to expand civic engagement outreach through its partnership with the NYC Civic Engagement Commissions Citywide Participatory Budgeting (PB) initiative. Participatory Budgeting gives community members, as young as 11, across NYC the power and voice to propose ideas, and vote on how to spend a designated part of the city budget. In FY25 the League served as a Citywide Partner, conducting in-person Idea Generation Workshops in three boroughs, and balloting across the city connecting with more than 2000 residents. Much of the Leagues work also involves providing ways for members, and the community at large, to learn more about how local government works, become more engaged, and advocate for issues. First published in 1979, What Makes New York City Run is a primer on how NYC government is organized, and in FY25 we revised and updated this seminal publication. Furthering efforts to keep New Yorkers informed, as part of its partnership with the CUNY Graduate Research Center, the League was engaged to update and revamp Who Represents Me? (mygovnyc.org), a website that provides up-to-date contact information for elected officials at all levels of government for every address in New York City. In addition to regularly updating the information following each election, the League has conducted extensive outreach programs to promote awareness of, and usage of the site throughout the election season. As a nonpartisan organization, the League does not support any political party or candidate. However, it does advocate on behalf of issues that align with its core mission. Among these are the Equal Rights Amendment, voting reforms to expand voting access and civic education, and issues of social justice impacting New Yorkers.
