Democracy Begins with Service

From the beginning, SafeBallot understood something many technology companies miss...

People do not trust brands. People trust people. That is why civic engagement
became the foundation of our company.

• After completing the Fowler Business Concept Challenge, SafeBallot did not immediately focus on finding clients or generating revenue.
• We believed SafeBallot is more than a voting platform. It is a movement built around strengthening communities and empowering people.
• Our first initiative was through the Adopt A Highway program in San Diego County. Every month, our team continues to volunteer its time to remove litter and improve the communities we call home.
• Next came the SafeBallot Youth Leadership Grant, a program designed to invest directly into local schools and support the next generation of leaders throughout San Diego County.
• Soon after, SafeBallot sponsored charitable athletic initiatives and community events that brought people together around causes greater than themselves.
• Our commitment to service reached its highest level through the Playbook Project, a countywide initiative that united all 18 cities across San Diego County for a single mission: feeding families in need. The effort distributed more than 13,000 pounds of food, served hundreds of families, and demonstrated what is possible when communities work together toward a common goal.

None of these projects involved voting. None of them generated revenue. But all of them reflected the values that SafeBallot was founded upon.
