The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.

-Voters Service/Citizen Education: we present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.

-"Action/Advocacy": we are also nonpartisan, but, after study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

To conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we use funds from the League of Women Voters of California Education Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit educational organization. The League of Women Voters, a membership organization, conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation.
