Vote Your Voice | Southern Poverty Law Center - Tides Vote Your Voice (VYV) is an initiative of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a fund at Tides Foundation, that supports nonprofit organizations working to advance full voter participation and fair representation across the Deep South.
VYV centers historically excluded and under-represented communities and invests in organizations with a demonstrated commitment to voter education, civic engagement, and voting access. Launched in 2020, Vote Your Voice was created to move beyond short-term, election-cycle funding and toward sustained, year-round engagement that strengthens democratic participation and community leadership over time.
VYV supports organizations working in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Since launch, Vote Your Voice has supported a network of 124 nonprofit organizations working directly in communities across the Deep South. Together, these organizations engage a program population of nearly 15.
5 million overlooked, under-recognized individuals with barriers to voter participation, civic engagement, advocacy, and protection efforts.

Continuous engagement, not one-time mobilization Long-term relationships with grantee partners Respect for organizational capacity, avoiding unnecessary reporting burden Collaboration and learning across organizations and geographies The Protection to Power Framework In response to increasing pressures on civic engagement organizations, Vote Your Voice is implementing a Protection to Power framework, deploying $10 million over two years to strengthen the long-term health of the Southern civic ecosystem.
This framework includes three interconnected areas of support: Rapid, flexible resources to help organizations address legal, financial, or digital challenges that could disrupt their work. Organizational Resilience Support to strengthen operational infrastructure, diversify funding, and build systems that allow organizations to thrive over time.
Leadership & Network Sustainability Investments in leadership development, peer learning, and collaboration to strengthen connections across the Southern civic landscape. All three areas are designed to work together to support organizations at different stages and with different needs.
