The Voter Project is a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring all Pennsylvania voters can cast a ballot in a safe, secure, and convenient way.
The Voter Project’s recent giving centers on Pennsylvania voter access work, with repeated general-purpose support to Black Leadership Pennsylvania, PA Alliance Action, and Keystone Democracy. Those recurring awards show a funder that backs civic engagement organizations over multiple grants rather than a single one-off gift. The foundation’s own summary describes it as a non-partisan, non-profit organization focused on ensuring Pennsylvania voters can cast a ballot in a safe, secure, and convenient way, and its grant history fits that mission. Its recent portfolio includes both large operating grants and targeted support for voter registration and vote-by-mail work, indicating attention to the mechanics of participation as well as broader voter outreach. The recipient mix also shows that The Voter Project works through established local and regional organizations in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, including Philadelphia-based groups and statewide civic intermediaries. Across the available grant list, the pattern is consistent: support for groups engaged in voter education, ballot access, voter protection, and turnout-related work, with several grantees appearing more than once in the recent record.
Voter registration is a clear line of support. In 2023, The Voter Project gave $123,093 to the Center for Voter Information in Washington, DC, to support the organization’s voter registration program, and it also gave $70,000 to the New Pennsylvania Project in Lemoyne, PA, for the same purpose. Vote-by-mail work is another specific focus: Promote the Vote in Philadelphia received $75,148 in 2025 and $67,500 in 2025 to support its Vote by Mail program. The foundation also supports broad civic engagement infrastructure through general-purpose funding. Examples include $60,000 to the Committee of Seventy in Philadelphia and $50,000 to Priorities USA in Washington, DC. Its portfolio reflects activity around ballot access, voter outreach and engagement, and participation support rather than a single-issue approach.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $30,000, a median of $50,000, and a p75 of $75,000. The recent record also includes several much larger awards, which helps explain the foundation’s annual grant total relative to its asset base. The same organizations appear across multiple years and in repeated entries, including 2023 and 2025 awards, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The Voter Project is a public charity and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grants shown are primarily general-purpose, with some project-based support tied to voter registration and vote-by-mail work.
