Tenant Spotlight: Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network

While the tenant organizations of the NonProfit Center have diverse missions, programs and resources, they share a collective commitment to social change. Together, they strengthen the center, the broader nonprofit community and Greater Boston. This month’s spotlight is on the Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network.

Implications of the 2010 Census for Your Organization

At the NonProfit Center, a clear commonality weaves throughout its myriad organizations: the majority of nonprofits strive to improve life for the underserved - typically comprised of communities of color, immigrants, the elderly and those that are low-income. Within this demographic, studies reveal that voter turnout tends to be dismally low. The Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network (NVEN), a nonpartisan nonprofit initiative of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits with offices in St. Paul and Boston (whose chapter is located at the NonProfit Center), aims to reverse this trend.
