Ohio

Ohio Voice is the “c3 table” or “civic engagement table” in Ohio – an affiliate of State Voices nationally.

Our mission is to support and grow the ecosystem of non-profit, non-partisan organizations doing year-round civic engagement with underrepresented communities in order to win progressive governance that will improve people’s lives.

Specifically, we:

1) provide capacity building support ranging from grants to data and digital support

2) staff and support coalitions on broad-based issues including voting rights and tax policy, as well as leadership development racial equity programs

3) analyze Ohio’s landscape and experiment to identify and work on the biggest opportunities and gaps in Ohio’s progressive ecosystem.

“Hiring communications and development staff has been on our to-do list for years, but we just didn’t have the confidence to add to our operating budget without a multi-year commitment. Project Power Up is allowing us to fill two big gaps that will ensure we can more effectively and frequently reach a larger audience and move more resources to our partners building power toward progressive governance.” — Gavin DeVore Leonard, Executive Director of Ohio Voice
