Dear John,

We are excited to announce that just days ago we were approved by the IRS for charitable 501(c)(3) status! This is big news for our small team as we continue to grow and expand. We are incredibly grateful to our fiscal sponsor Alliance for Global Justice for supporting us over the last several years, but we are ready to take the leap and go out on our own.

Doing this feels a little risky but by eliminating our fiscal agent, every dollar donated will go directly to us. With lower overhead costs and more financial autonomy, we feel we will better serve and further our mission to end all war. We are hopeful that this status will open new doors to fundraising opportunities and securing grants along with making critical global connections to move public policy and change minds about our collective reliance on war and militarism (this will include groups and coalitions affiliated with the United Nations).

While this tax-exempt charitable status is only specific to the United States, we are also currently in the process of applying for charitable status in Canada and then looking to the rest of the world! Doing this will ensure a truly global movement working together to abolish war and replace it with a just and sustainable peace.

Things to note for any future donations you’ll make to WBW:

We are so glad that you’re part of the movement to end war and thankful for your on-going support of WBW which helped get us to this place of organizational growth. Onward and upward.

Peace,

Alex McAdams, Development Director
