After completing law school, Senator Obama took on his new role organizing “Project VOTE” in 1992. This project was undertaken in direct partnership with ACORN. Mr. Obama also volunteered his services yearly as a key figure in Acorn’s leadership-training seminars. Furthermore, Obama’s service on the boards of Woods Fund and the Joyce Foundation allowed him to help direct tens of millions of dollars in grants to various organizations, including Chicago Acorn, whose endorsement Obama sought and won in his State Senate race.
