I’m Dutch, living in the US on a work visa. Would it be legal for me to donate to MVP?

On the value of sustaining donations vs. one-time: A donor asks: “[My partner] and I decided to donate $2,500 to MVP. Would it be preferable for us to sign up as sustainers at $200/month, and plan to continue that at least through the next year? I suspect that it might help MVP more to have the lump sum now, but I’m not sure. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.” - Martha Golub

Is there a list of the 40 Congressional districts that MVP is investing in for the 2024 elections? I just saw that Blue Tent is starting a donors’ fund for a group called Action Together New Jersey to try to flip NJ-7, and Blue Tent promises to roll out more donor funds for other congressional districts. I’ll be interested to see if there are overlaps between MVP’s list and Blue Tent’s list. - Margit Birge

There are organizations that publicly report on the effectiveness of 501c3 organizations, including the percentage of donations used for fundraising and other administrative activities. Several years ago a potential large donor said he would not donate to any organization that did not subscribe to this oversight. Does MVF participate in this? If not, why not? Thanks. - John Christoforo

Is it correct that both MVP and MVF funds go towards capacity-building? If that’s true, what distinguishes the two funding streams? - Dave Roitman

Please explain concisely where the Movement Voter Fund contributions go, so we understand how contributions from 501c3 organizations do not put those organizations at risk. - Dave Roitman

If some donations now cover the salaries of capacity-building and program staff, is there a guaranteed percentage that goes directly to the grassroots groups? We’ve been assuring potential donors that all the donations go directly to groups; with the new policy that some of our donations support staffing, donors are likely to have concerns about their money going to cover “administration” or mid-level management. - Margit Birge

Does MVP publish details on how much funding is sent to each state or which groups get how much funding? Donors have asked this question - Margit Birge

Does MVP have a Reproductive Rights Fund that supports donors who wish to direct their contributions to partners that work on this issue? (Asked by John Holme)
