About Missouri Organizing and Voter Engagement Collaborative
Missouri Organizing and Voter Engagement Collaborative’s recent grantmaking is built around election protection and transformative conversations. Its largest grant in the file is $1,017,108 to Missouri Wins Investor Network in Eureka for election protection, alongside repeated support for Missouri Jobs With Justice Voter Action in St. Louis and LiUNA Local 955 in Columbia. The pattern points to a funder that backs organizing infrastructure, voter engagement, and persuasion work rather than isolated one-off campaigns. The collaborative also supports groups working on civic and policy issues that connect organizing to broader public participation. Abortion Action Missouri in St. Louis appears multiple times across different years and grant purposes, while Kc Tenants in Kansas City receives support tied to transformative conversations. The foundation’s grantmaking reaches groups in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Jefferson City, Eureka, and Oakland, with all reported grants staying in the United States. Its stated aim is to strengthen Missouri communities by coordinating organizing and voter engagement efforts that expand civic participation, build power for historically marginalized communities, and advance equitable public policy.
