You’ve got experience we can use… In community organizing, fundraising for nonprofits, connecting progressives, and working on strategies for expanding your branch or your project. Contact us to help with an exciting new project at WILPF US.
Development Chair Marybeth Gardam is looking for ways to appeal to more progressive women and men in three regions of the country who might be potential WILPF members, branch leaders and donors. We’re targeting the Northeast, the Midwest and Southern California.
Marybeth Gardam has proposed a plan that involves consulting to strengthen struggling branches and start new branches, and identifying funding sources that would support WILPF.
“We have a proud history, a record of excellent organizing and important issue and advocacy work on many levels in 40 communities across the US,” Gardam says. “What progressive would not want to support an organization like ours that links peace women across the planet, trains and empowers women activists across the US, and has the potential for connecting with important allies on critical issues? Problem is, most haven’t ever been asked. We need to change that.”
If you are a WILPF US member with a talent or skill for making connections, project management, or major gift fundraising, we ask your participation in this newly proposed project that combines strengthening branches with building capacity. Contact Marybeth Gardam at mbgardam@gmail.com.
“If we succeed, the potential for growing and expanding WILPF US is enormous. And that means our capacity for supporting the work of our members and branches will also grow. The missing ingredient might just be YOU,” Gardam says.
If you believe in the work that WILPF does, the potential for the future, and the urgent need for working on system change, peace, demilitarization, environmental justice, racial justice and economic justice, contact us today. There will be a place for you in this capacity-building project. We need you!
