Shelter Movers

Published purpose

Through this 22-month project, Shelter Movers will build its capacity to advance gender equality. This will be achieved by addressing fundraising skills gaps so the organization can secure sustainable funding to continue providing moving and storage services to women and children fleeing domestic abuse. Project activities will include restructuring and growing the national fund development team, creating and overseeing new volunteer roles, completing a SWOT analysis of current policies and procedures to identify risks and gaps, updating fundraising tools and database, and developing a 5-year strategic fund development plan. Ultimately, by improving fundraising skills and processes, Shelter Movers will be better equipped to increase its sustainability, and continue to help women secure their fundamental right to live in safety. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Shelter Movers will enhance its fundraising capacity and fiscal sustainability by developing a Dinner Club fundraising series for future application in multiple markets. Through this they will increase their sustainability and their abil+N381ity to continue advancing Gender Equality.
