How Funders can Effectively Support Volunteer-led Movements

How can funders effectively support volunteers in movement building? This interactive session is all about how volunteers and organizations can work together as part of a movement. TCC Group and the Wikimedia Foundation will share their recent collaboration, showcasing what they’ve learned about how funders can effectively work as part of a shared-ownership movement.

We will explore different roles that volunteers play when cooperating with movement organizations and/or when acting independently. We’ll discuss the best ways to leverage staff and organizations for increasing volunteer impact. We’ll also ask participants to share what they’ve learned or ask questions they still have about how to effectively fund volunteers in a movement.
