Dear Reader,

I have an invitation for you—one I hope you will accept.

It’s an invitation to become a member of a select group of Ballotpedia supporters we call “The Ballotpedia Society.”

What does this group do?

It brings together individuals who not only share our love of politics—but also our commitment to truth.

The Ballotpedia Society does this in a very simple—very powerful—way…

…its members make regular, monthly contributions to Ballotpedia. 

With a monthly gift, you help provide the essential resources we must have to cover our nation’s rapidly changing political landscape.

And because your contribution is made safely, securely and automatically, you will be providing Ballotpedia with stable funding to ensure our work can continue without interruption.

Plus, monthly giving through the Ballotpedia Society allows us to put more of your gift to work on our programs because it cuts our administrative and overhead costs. 

It also means less mail from us in your inbox—no donation reminders, no fundraising appeal… just one letter at the end of the year that details your giving history for your tax records. 

How does the Ballotpedia Society work?

You decide how much you wish to give each month. It can be as little as $5, or it can be $25, $50 or even $100.  

To get started, click on this secure link where you can choose the payment options and gift amount that work best for you. The Ballotpedia Society puts you in control of your donations.

What can your monthly Ballotpedia Society gift do?

Over the course of a year,

• $10 per month will cover the cost of updating five races with election results

• $25 per month will provide an edition of one of our monthly newsletters

• $50 per month will underwrite the cost and promotion of five entirely new articles on Ballotpedia

• $100 per month will support the addition and promotion of a Learning Journey that helps turn some of Ballotpedia’s more complicated articles into an easily accessible email course

These are just a few examples of how your monthly gift can make a huge difference to Ballotpedia each and every day.

And when you become a member of the Ballotpedia Society, you receive special invitations to participate in members-only events, and personal, behind-the-scenes updates from me.

With the 2020 presidential election upon us, there’s never been a bigger need for Ballotpedia to be ready to provide unbiased information to the voting public.

Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, we have become the go-to source for election coverage that’s free from partisan spin.

For some, reaching that goal would be enough. But for us, it’s just the beginning.

With your help as a member of the Ballotpedia Society, we can continue to write the encyclopedia of American politics… and enrich our nation’s civic life.

I look forward to hearing from you—and thank you for all your support and encouragement!

Sincerely, 

Leslie Graves
President & CEO
