What is an MVP Party?

MVP House Parties and Zoom Parties create a shared sense of community and hopefulness. These events provide a way to gather your friends and family to learn about MVP and, most importantly, join in financial support. 

MVP Parties have a welcoming environment where people make connections and get questions answered. Expect to hear about the past and present of MVP, the funding model, stories from the field, and hosts sharing their stories of why they support MVP.

MVP Parties run the gamut of size anywhere from 12-500+ attendees. It’s your party, so you and your co-hosts decide how big you want to go!

We ask hosts to set a goal of raising $10,000 for each party, and we can help you put together a host team and guest list to reach that goal. 

If that amount feels too ambitious, we’d love for you to join a community party as a co-host!

To join a community party team, fill out the volunteer intake form and select “Co-Host an Upcoming Party”. Once filled out,  email rebecca@movement.vote with questions.

A Typical Party

Typically, MVP Parties run for an hour with an introduction lead by hosts followed by a presentation about MVP. There is time allotted for Q&A and then host(s) share a pitch to encourage donations. In-person events offer time at the beginning and end of the event for mingling and discussion.

To get a sense of how to organize your time, we recommend reviewing this event flow template and this checklist before you get started.
