GUIDING PRINCIPLE
V-Day was created by artists and activists and as a result has a unique organizational model. Unlike many global nonprofits, V-Day does not have a central headquarters. V-Day’ s small team works remotely from home bases around the world to sustain an infrastructure that keeps the V-Day network of volunteer 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 V( formerly 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. V is a volunteer and has never received payment from V-Day for her work as an author, performer or organizer.
