LWVGT's ‘We’ll Pay the Rent’ fundraising activity is starting again.
This fundraising activity was a huge success - members donated money that went directly to paying the rent of the league office for one year.
Members (and committees) can once ‘sponsor’ a day, week or month of the office rent. Consider sponsoring the week of your birthday, or the month of your anniversary, or the day of your committee meeting. Contributions can be made in honor of, or special recognition of friends, family members or other League members.
Last year, the program raised close to $9000!
With all of your help, and donations, we hope to hit the $10,000 goal this year!
Help us reach our $10,000 goal.

Below are some of the many events taking place in the next two weeks that members may be interested in attending. |  |
Every eligible voter deserves to have their vote counted.
That’s the cornerstone of our democracy. And we all suffer when eligible, registered voters are turned away from the polls, unable to find their polling place, or otherwise blocked from exercising their rights.
That’s why every election year, we recruit, train, and deploy thousands of Election Protection volunteers across the nation. These trained, nonpartisan volunteers serve as voters’ first line of defense against confusing voting rules, outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation, and needless obstacles to the ballot box.
With misinformation running rampant on social media and thousands of proposed new anti-voter restrictions, we need our programs to match or exceed that effort in every election this year. This is simply an unprecedented time for our elections, and that’s why we’re asking for your help today.
