Final Results
Headline and Description Best Practices General Instructions: 1) View the example at the bottom of this article. 2) Use 3rd person narrative. "Our", "We", and "Us" are not 3rd person. 3) Since your nonprofit name will be listed directly above the headline and description, there is no need to include it in the headline and description. This space is better used to provide information about your programs and services. 4) Avoid using language related to religion, sexual assault, and nonprofit 501(c)3 status. There is no need to repeat your nonprofit's name, since it is listed directly above the description.

Acknowledgment and Thank You's!
In summer 2025, Target updated the app’s user experience, which changed how members access the voting platform. To make the process easier, we’ve created simple step-by-step instructions. We encourage you to share these with your supporters - or even create your own voting demo video to guide them.
