V-Day Annual Report 2017 - RISE FOR WOMEN WORKERS 1 | Page 78
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
V-Day was created by artists and
activists and as a result has a unique
organizational model. Unlike many
global non profits, V-Day does not have
a central headquarters. Instead, V-Day’s
small team work remotely from home
bases around the world to sustain an
online infrastructure that keeps the
V-Day network of volunteers activists
(one billion strong and growing) linked,
informed, and engaged across the
world. Through its virtual structure,
V-Day is able to keep traditionally high
overhead costs very low, enabling it to
devote 90 cents of every dollar raised
to programmatic work.
V-CORE
The V-Day Core consists of Founder Eve Ensler and a small
number of full and part-time team members.
A much larger number of supporters and V-Day activists
generously give their time and lend their resources to the movement.
Eve Ensler is a volunteer and has never received payment from
V-Day for her work as an author, performer or organizer.
