Volunteer with MVP
Welcome to the MVP Volunteer Donor Organizing Program!
Our purpose is to build a movement of donors funding grassroots organizing.
Note: MVP doesn’t lead GOTV work ourselves; instead, we focus on funding the local organizing groups best positioned to turn out key voters in critical states and races.

Take on a Volunteer Role
Volunteers help keep our work moving and support the growth of the movement. These roles support the hundreds of house party fundraisers people host that raise millions of dollars for our partners each cycle.
At this time we are asking all new volunteers to help maximize our fundraising efforts by hosting your own party, or doing a personal fundraising campaign, or joining an online party host team, for which you can sign up by filling out our volunteer intake form. (Select “Co-Host an Upcoming Party.”)
We are not currently training new presenters, coordinators, and Zoom managers. Check back here in a few days for new volunteer opportunities in the final stretch of 2024.
Please contact volunteer@movement.vote with questions.
