Investing in Democracy:
LWVCM’s Year-End Fundraising Appeal
The League of Women Voters of Charlotte-Mecklenburg invites members and friends to support our goal of raising $30,000 by year’s end to strengthen our work protecting and expanding democracy in 2027.
Please consider employer matching programs or using qualified donations from an IRA to increase your impact. All donations are tax-deductible, so give before Dec. 31 at goleaguego.org/donate and help keep democracy strong in Mecklenburg County.
Your Support Powers Informed Voters and Stronger Communities
Because of supporters like you, more neighbors across Mecklenburg County have access to the trusted, nonpartisan information they need to participate fully in democracy. Your generosity helps the League of Women Voters of Charlotte Mecklenburg meet voters where they are, answer critical questions, reduce barriers to participation, and build confidence in the power of every voice.
Your Gift Helps Voters Cast Confident Ballots
Every election brings questions: Who is on the ballot? What do the candidates stand for? When and where can I vote? Donor support makes it possible for the League to provide clear, accessible, nonpartisan answers through community programs, voter registration events, candidate forums, and VOTE411. Your investment helps volunteers reach eligible voters, explain election deadlines, and provide practical guidance so more residents can make their voices heard. Each informed voter strengthens the civic fabric of our community.
Your Support Builds Civic Leaders
Donor support also fuels leadership beyond the ballot box. For more than 30 years, Civics 101 has helped residents understand how local government works and how they can take part in shaping Mecklenburg County’s future. Through interactive sessions with local officials and civic leaders, participants gain the knowledge and confidence to engage more deeply in public life. Many graduates go on to serve on councils, advisory boards, commissions, and nonprofit boards. With your help, curiosity becomes leadership, and leadership becomes lasting community impact.
Your Generosity Supports Advocacy for Every Student
Strong public schools are essential to a healthy democracy. Your support helps the League advocate for equitable, high-quality public education, including K–12 funding, competitive teacher compensation, teacher retention, and equal opportunity for every child. It also helps lift the voices of parents, educators, and community members in decisions that shape the future of local schools.
Your Donation Advances Healthier, More Resilient Communities
Clean air, safe water, and resilient neighborhoods are the foundation of community well-being. Donor support helps the League promote science-based environmental policies that protect public health, support a sustainable economy, and safeguard the quality of life of generations to come. With community partners, the League educates residents, supports stewardship projects, and advocates for solutions to plastic pollution, water quality, and climate resilience. Your gift helps turn information into action and action into healthier communities.
Your Support Protects Access to Healthcare
Every person deserves dignity, privacy, and access to quality healthcare. Your support enables the League to educate and advocate for policies that protect bodily autonomy, reproductive healthcare, contraception, and abortion care. Through trusted information and nonpartisan partnerships, the League helps community members understand what is at stake and how to engage. Donors make that education and advocacy possible.
Together, We Can Keep Democracy Strong
At the heart of this work is a simple belief: democracy belongs to all of us. Your support helps ensure that voters are informed, new voters are welcomed into the process, civic leaders are prepared to serve, and community conversations remain rooted in facts, fairness, and participation.
