The Legacy
Endowment Fund

Perhaps no legacy is as important as that which helps to preserve a healthy democracy for our children, their children, and future generations of Americans. Thousands of Project Vote Smart members have already demonstrated their willingness to protect the democratic principles and ideals on which our country was founded.

Gifts to The Legacy Endowment Fund provide on-going support for PVS reaching far beyond today and tomorrow. Gifts can be large or small and they become even more important when combined with the contributions of other like-minded individuals. The principal is invested and only income from the fund is spent. A portion of the income is rolled over to the principal to ensure that it keeps growing.

You can contribute to the Project Vote Smart Legacy Endowment Fund by outright gift or through a deferred gift. Donors of $1,000 or more to the Legacy Endowment Fund will be recognized with a special plaque on the Founder's Bridge at the Project's Great Divide Ranch in Montana.

The Resurrection:
Candidates will do anything to avoid committing to the issue positions of our Political Courage Test. One candidate claimed she had not submitted her Political Courage Test because her mother had recently passed away. One month later the same candidate excused her missing Political Courage Test because her mother was ill. It's too bad for her that we keep accurate phone logs of all correspondence with candidates.
