What March to the Polls does
Mission
March to the Polls' mission is to empower youth and other low-voting communities - through nonpartisan civic education, leadership development, and hands-on learning experiences-to lead, vote, and stay civically engaged.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
MTTP offers in-class high school voter education and registration twice a year. This work helps schools comply with the Texas High School Voter Registration Act's requirement of two opportunities to register students each school year. Our team discusses voting with students, delivers educational content, and registers eligible students. We connect the dots between voting and how it affects students' lives, teach students about the importance, logistics, and mechanics of voting, and empower broader civic engagement beyond voting. We worked with 10 North Texas school districts in 84 schools. To date, March to the Polls has registered over 38,000 students to vote.
$125,244 spent32% of program spendingWe establish on-campus student-led Student Voter Empowerment Clubs (SVEC) for students in grades 9-12. The clubs help fill some of the gap left by a lack of robust civics education requirements in Texas and aim to positively change youth culture around voting. Students engage in active learning like conducting candidate forums, taking field trips to observe government in action, presenting to their peers during our in-class engagement work, and participating in Voter Participation Drives (text, calls, and canvassing) aimed at 18-21-year-old first-time voters and their families. We established 38 clubs with over 520 members in the 2024-2025 program year. Students directly engaged through this program had 5x the turnout compared to their peer group in local and state elections in 2023.
$200,656 spent51% of program spendingOur Community Outreach efforts more broadly allow us to support other groups where we act as a voting resource. We work with county election departments to ensure equitable and fair voting access including Volunteer Deputy Registrar trainings for hundreds of volunteers, enabling them to register others to vote. MTTP provides VDRs for voter registration at events run by elections departments and others. We also participate in voting coalitions, supporting increased turnout for our community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $279k to $188k (−33%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
99% of MARCH TO THE POLLS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 14 funders, grant income rose $13k → $273k.
6 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of MARCH TO THE POLLS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
MARCH TO THE POLLS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
53% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MARCH TO THE POLLS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 77% · 2022 37% · 2023 26% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
89% of MARCH TO THE POLLS's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $468k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
MARCH TO THE POLLS's funding base is broadening — from 3 funders to 14 as grant income climbed.
