Volunteer with MVP

Welcome to the MVP Volunteer Donor Organizing Program!

Movement Voter Project believes year-round local organizing and movement building are vital to shifting culture, winning elections, and transforming policy. 

The organizations that lead this essential work are chronically under-funded — and that’s where MVP comes in.

The MVP Volunteer Donor Organizing Program is a political home for donor-activists who want to help build a movement of donors funding year-round work needed to achieve a progressive era in which everyone can flourish.

Whether you’re brand new to MVP or interested in learning more about where to get started, we feel you can learn something with us at MVP 101. These sessions will be offered on the third Wednesday of each month.

Volunteer Resources

What *is* donor organizing?

Drawing from Marshall Ganz’s organizing framework, we view it as identifying, recruiting, and developing the leadership of donors; building community around those donors; and building power out of that community to fund our work.
