“What is the organization's primary exempt purpose? Expand electorate among 18-29 year-olds and other under-represented groups to build a more inclusive democracy in utah.”

“Describe the organization's program service accomplishments for each of its three largest program services, as measured by expenses. In a clear and concise manner describe the services provided, the number of persons benefited, and other relevant information for each program title. Voterise was created to expand civic engagement among utah's 18-29 year-olds and other under-represented groups. In 2016, utah ranked 39th in overall voter turnout. While utah ranks as the youngest state in the country, only 8.1% of the state's 18-29 year-olds voted in the 2014 mid-terms, less than half of the national average. Voterise officially launched on july 14, 2016 and the next 3 months served as a pilot program. Numerous activities were initiated, tested, and evaluated. We learned a great deal in preparation for the 2017/2018 election cycle and next presidential election in 202. Here is a brief summary of the accomplishments realized in our three largest programs. Millennial campaign: voterise registered or facilitated the registration of over 6,000 ne potential voters, directly and through our nonprofit affiliate network. Voterise partnered with the utah campus compact for the national voter registration day flagship events in utah during which 12,000 registrations were generated statewide. Of those who registered with us online or via text during the 2016 election cycle, 73.4% turned out to vote, considered to be a remarkably strong result when measured against similar organizations. And, history shows that once they vote for the first time, millennials will continue to vote in future elections throughout their lives. Nonprofit engagement: voterise build a nonprofit network that consisted of 22 organizations by november, 2016. They are a diverse group with varied missions including the environment, education, arts/culture/humanities, public/societal benefit, and more. Voterise provided voter registration toolkits including widgets that enabled their members and other constituents to register to vote via their organization websites as well as social media infographics and memes with which to promote their registration activities. Voterise also provided registration training for organizations' staffs and volunteers. Workplace engagement: voterise established a pilot on-site voter registration program in 2016, recruiting companies with strong millennial workforces that included goldman sachs, overstock, adobe, ancestry.com, and real salt lake. The most successful models featured strong voter registration social media messaging promotion of voter registration at every level of the company. These models provide a strong base on which to build an expanded program and will be highlighted in ongoing efforts to enlist other corporations.”
