North Texas Giving Day

​

North Texas Giving Day is Thursday September 17, and early giving opened on August 27.

Because of supporters like you, LWV-CC continues to provide valuable nonpartisan election information to Collin County voters. Each year, thousands of county residents use www.vote411.org and online Voters Guides to compare candidates' responses to LWV questions. LWV-CC hosts nonpartisan candidate forums and assists other nonpartisan organizations with their candidate forums.

​

Free public forums are held throughout the year about timely topics, and our speakers present voting information to various community groups. Voter registration is a core function and we register voters at Collin College, high schools, and at various events/locations throughout Collin County.

​

Your giving allows us to continue empowering voters and defending democracy!
