Our Work

Every dollar allows us to reach more voters across Tarrant County by helping us

- provide nonpartisan voter information for elections big and small through our free Voter Guides and Vote411.org (Thousands of people trust our Voter Guides for each and every election. We strive to provide voting information in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.),

- host "Hot Topic" discussions where members and the public can learn about issues that matter here in Tarrant County,

- register voters on college and high school campuses and at public events all over the county,

- moderate candidate forums for municipalities in Tarrant County, partnering with Fort Worth Report and others to moderate forums for county-wide and state-level races,

- and inform voters via social media, our newsletter, and in-person events about important election dates and details.

This year, in memory of our late board member, dear friend, and powerful voting rights advocate, Stella Fair, LWVTC is launching the Stella Fair Voting Rights Scholarship Fund. Stella worked closely within her own community and with the recently incarcerated population, empowering people from all walks of life to exercise their right to vote. Donations made in Stella Fair's memory will be dedicated to educating future civic leaders.

Thank you to this year's Matching Donors
