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.
THE V-DAY BOARD
is a group of extraordinary women who
provide vision, leadership and wisdom to
help guide and support our work. They are:
Lisa Schejola Akin | Carole Black
Jennifer Buffett | Kimberlé W. Crenshaw
Rosario Dawson | Eve Ensler
Jane Fonda | Katherine McFate
Pat Mitchell | Thandie Newton
Regina K. Scully | Susan Celia Swan
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.
