The League of Women Voters can't do its important work without the generous financial support of its members and other donors in the community.

Did you know that this year, 56% of your annual membership dues ($31) will go to the League of Women Voters of the U.S., and another 27% ($15) goes to the League of Women Voters of Oklahoma, leaving the Tulsa League with just $9 from each full membership to finance our local activities?

Your additional support is vital to our work. Please consider a donation today, or make a plan for future support of our League.

Through the Tulsa Community Foundation's Planned Giving Partnership program we can now refer members for free, confidential and professional guidance for financial and estate planning. 
 
We can't do it without you. Please help us
