GET INVOLVED
Become a Democracy Defender
Since 1929, the League of Women Voters of Greater Green Bay (LWVGGB) has been a nonpartisan, volunteer-led organization of women and men dedicated to "making democracy work." We strive to educate our community on issues that impact their daily lives while advocating for open and transparent government.
We invite you to join us!
The League is neither "left" nor "right." Rather, we are committed to creating a democracy that works for and represents all. If that sounds like a worthy effort, there are many opportunities to support or actively engage with the LWVGGB.
DONATE
We welcome donations from both our members and the broader community to support our programming. If you are a LWVGGB member, you can donate through the LWV Member Portal.
If you are not a member but would like to support our important work, you can donate through PayPal or by sending a check to LWV of Greater Green Bay at PO Box 1923, Green Bay, WI 54305-1923.
The LWVGGB is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501 (c) (3) of the I.R.S. tax code. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Summer Picnic - We gather at a local park in August for camaraderie and a guest speaker.

The Holiday Brunch - In December we come together to socialize and reflect with our fellow League members.
