VoterVoice for Nonprofits: AI-Powered Legislative Advocacy Platform
VoterVoice is the market-leading digital advocacy platform trusted by 2,000+ organizations to mobilize supporters, connect constituents with lawmakers, and drive measurable policy impact through AI-optimized campaigns.
What VoterVoice Does
Advocacy nonprofits face a fundamental challenge: turning supporter passion into political action at scale. Emailing a lawmaker requires knowing which lawmaker represents each supporter, crafting the right message, choosing the right channel, and following up when voices go unheard. VoterVoice was built to automate every step of that process.
Part of FiscalNote, VoterVoice is a purpose-built grassroots and grasstops advocacy platform. It automatically matches supporters to their elected officials at the federal, state, and local level using real-time geographic data, then pre-populates their contact information to reduce friction. Organizations launch campaigns via email, SMS, MMS, and short codes, with built-in newsletters, scorecards, petitions, surveys, and event management to round out the full advocacy lifecycle.
Where VoterVoice distinguishes itself is in message delivery reliability and AI-powered optimization. The platform's SmartCheck feature uses both proprietary machine learning and OpenAI's ChatGPT to analyze campaigns before they go out, catching spam triggers, suboptimal subject lines, and messaging weaknesses in real time. This means advocacy teams spend less time guessing what will resonate and more time driving action.

Real-World Nonprofit Use Case
Environmental Advocacy: Scaling Constituent Outreach
Consider a national environmental nonprofit with 400,000 email subscribers across all 50 states. When a key piece of climate legislation moves to committee, the advocacy team needs to mobilize supporters quickly and route each message to the exact right senator or representative.
Using VoterVoice, they launch a campaign in hours rather than days. Each supporter who clicks the action alert is matched to their legislators instantly, with name and address pre-filled. SmartCheck reviews the call-to-action email before it goes out, flagging one phrase likely to trigger spam filters and suggesting a stronger subject line generated by ChatGPT. The team accepts the changes and sends.
The campaign dashboard shows real-time message delivery, open rates benchmarked against peer environmental organizations, and a running total of constituent contacts. When the bill advances, the ROI report gives the executive director the data they need to brief the board on advocacy program impact. Similar organizations have achieved over 850,000 messages to Congress in a single campaign, gaining 235,000+ new advocates in the process.
Key outcome: Faster campaign launches, higher message delivery rates, and board-ready ROI reporting, all without building custom advocacy infrastructure.
