Your financial support enables us to increase our efforts to empower voters and defend democracy, strengthen our volunteer and social media presence in the community as a trusted source of information, and to make plans for additional efforts to educate and inform Orange County voters in our new fiscal year. 

Thanks to supporters like you, LWVOC is poised to embrace this moment and our future as we meet the challenges ahead. We hope you will spread the word to other friends as we reach out during the 2023-2024 fiscal year.  Their charitable gifts – large or small, one time or monthly, checks or QCDs – make a difference.
