DSA is a membership-led and membership-funded organization, with the vast majority of our funding coming from membership dues. This guarantees that our resources come from our source of power: organized people. Our funding and our power are inextricably linked. Dues allow our organization to be accountable to our members and our members alone.
Join members of DSA's Budget & Finance Committee and national staff for an annual report on DSA's 2023 budget. The call will include a breakdown of 2023 projected income and spending, a review of DSA's budgeting process, a brief overview of the process for costing out Convention resolutions, and the next steps for building sustainable funding models that can support our collective work for the long haul.
As DSA members, we have a responsibility to make strategic decisions about where, when, and how we use our resources. How we raise and spend our money has political consequences for our work. That work includes grassroots fundraising: it’s part of building solidarity and power. We can’t build an independent working-class organization without the financial support of working-class people.
