Voter Engagement Evaluation Project

This report, Voter Engagement Evaluation Project, presents critical findings from the 2004 election cycle regarding the effectiveness of 501(C)(3) voter engagement activity that the FCCP community of funders actively supported. The report synthesizes commissioned research and discussions between funders and field leaders at the VEEP Convening held in June 2005. The findings presented allow funders and nonprofit practitioners to avoid repeating mistakes, refine and replicate effective strategies, and target priority areas for additional experimentation and investment in future election cycles.
