CORE
GUIDING PRINCIPAL
V-Day will maintain the two synergistic realms that give V-Day its
strength - its dedicated volunteer activists and its unique
organizational model. Unlike most global NGOs, V-Day does not have
central headquarters or regional offices. Instead, V-Day’s small group
of 14 paid staff work remotely from home bases around the world to
sustain an online infrastructure that keeps the V-Day network of 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 give away 89 cents of every
dollar raised. This intentional organizational arrangement allows V-Day
to be viewed by its dedicated activists as a movement that is owned by
them, on the grassroots level. Eve Ensler, V-Day’s Founder and Board
Chair, is a volunteer and has never received payment from V-Day for
her work.
