How we fund our work

Mothers’ Union aims to reduce dependency and to work in partnership, strategically looking at how we work with and equip all Mothers’ Union members worldwide.

  • At the local level Mothers’ Union Branches fundraise and run individual projects to meet specific local needs.
  • At the national and international level, Mothers’ Union resources members and provides funding for core programs such as the Literacy & Financial Education Program, or the Parenting Program.   

Money raised for Mothers’ Union comes from membership subscriptions from within the USA Province, as well as support from individuals, and partnerships.  

 

We are dependent on the committed support from members and supporters to move forward with our strategic vision.

 

How we are funded

Subscriptions

Mothers’ Union is a membership-based charity with 500 members in the USA. 90% of our income is from membership subscriptions. Each member pays a subscription to their local Mothers’ Union Branch/Chapter, through fundraising efforts and an annual Thanksgiving Service. 10% comes from donations from our supporters and well-wishers. A percentage supports our local work in our community and beyond, and another percentage goes towards central funds for emergency aid and disaster.
