The Andrew Goodman Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting youth civic engagement and voting rights. Founded in honor of civil rights activist Andrew Goodman, who was murdered during the 1964 Freedom Summer, the organization works to empower young people to participate in democracy through voter registration, education, and advocacy programs on college campuses nationwide.
The organization typically pursues policies related to voting rights, election reform, youth civic engagement, campus voting access, protection against voter suppression, and expansion of equitable access to the ballot.
The foundation is primarily funded through private donations, philanthropic foundations, and individual contributors.
The Andrew Goodman Foundation works with student leaders known as Vote Everywhere Ambassadors and partners with colleges and universities, civic engagement coalitions, and voting rights advocacy groups.
