Since IGNITE’s start in 2010, we’ve trained over 35,000 young women-identifying persons to own their political power. As we continue to build a movement of young leaders, the financial investment of supporters like The Herb Block Foundation is crucial. We are grateful to The Herb Block Foundation, who generously awarded IGNITE an “Encouraging Citizen Involvement” grant of $15,000. This grant aims to ensure a “responsible, responsive democratic government” through civic engagement activities such as citizen education and voter participation. IGNITE will use the proceeds of this grant to further our mission in New Jersey.
