    The Open Philanthropy Project recommended two awards totaling $305,000 to Voters Organized to Educate (“Voters Organized”) to support its work on criminal justice reform in Louisiana. The funding is intended to allow Voters Organized to continue developing and testing its electoral impact and voter engagement strategies, vet and publicly endorse local political candidates who support policies aligned with Voters Organized’s mission, and raise its profile as an organization representing the interests of formerly incarcerated people.

    This funding is a renewal of our 2016 grant recommendation to Voters Organized.

    Voters Organized is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, and we made these recommendations to funders that are able to support 501(c)(4) organizations.
