Further to our meeting with MetroWest Blue and Beyond back in February, I have compiled a list of education (501c3) non-profits in swing states that focus on voter turn out. The list comes from GuideStar, a website that rates non-profits. The EIN numbers are useful if you are donating not via ActBlue but from a before-tax fund like a Donor Advised Fund or a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) at age 70.5+ from an IRA
