But our voting system wasn't built to support equitable participation. To develop a free, fair, and equitable election system, our Elections program supports those who are building voting power in their communities, while strengthening our election infrastructure to promote an election system that consistently produces trusted results, fairly represents the majority of voters, and makes equitable participation possible. 3122335 1800000 Vibrant and Diverse Public Square:Reliable information is getting harder to find, leading to less informed voters and greater threats to democracy. To increase civic participation, the Public Square program invests in organizations and leaders who believe in the power of accurate and accessible information as a force for justice and democracy and work to ensure communities have access to the information they need, online and offline. 5165812 4865000 Representative and Accountable Governance:In a healthy democracy, government institutions and officials work in service of all constituents and welcome different points of view. Governance strategies seek to strengthen the pro-democracy movement, defend against authoritarian threats, and advance long-term, structural change by shifting power to the people and away from a select few. This work requires a long-term, thoughtful approach that recognizes that anti-democratic practices aren't confined to specific geographic locations or people. 1813698 400000 Other Program Expenses.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 In 2022, DFV board of directors approved changes to the organization's bylaws that imposed a maximum number of board members, provided that the directors may serve staggered terms and receive reasonable compensation for their services, and established procedures for appointments to the board in the event of an emergency. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8b Currently there are no separate committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The process followed for review of the Form 990 is to distribute it to the Board of Trustees for independent review by the Board Members for review, discussion, and comment. Any questions that arise are discussed and addressed by the Members of the Board of Directors. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Democracy Fund Voice, Inc. monitored and enforced its conflict of interest policy by gathering from its directors and officers disclosure of conflicts of interest. The policy outlines a process to be undertaken if there is a potential violation of the policy.

Form 990 Part VII This note explains the relationship between DFV and DFI and how that relationship is reflected in DFV's responses to questions in Part VII. As explained in Democracy Fund Voice's Form 1024, Democracy Fund Voice and Democracy Fund are parties to a cost-sharing agreement, under which Democracy Fund charges Democracy Fund Voice for its proportionate share of office space, employee services, and administrative expenses. DFV and DFI, however, are not "related organizations" under the Form 990 definition of that term. Therefore, this Form 990 does not include Schedule R, where related organizations are required to disclose information about shared costs and services. In the interest of clarity and transparency, DFV has disclosed that information concerning individuals listed on Part VII through its responses there and this note.
