The Forum

WFM/IGP Forum

Establishing a sustainability platform and influence network through an expert forum

WFM/IGP is introducing an innovative model to ensure the sustainability of the organization over the long-term while also providing another avenue for governance support.

Through the Forum, up to fifteen influential members from diversified geographic regions, expertise, and sectors, who have either a demonstrated interest in world federalism or an ideological leaning towards the concept of federalism, would commit to contributing or fundraising annually to sustain the organization while also providing advisory to leadership and governance on the direction of the organization, identifying new and innovative ways to make an impact by voting for one Forum member annually to serve on a ‘public’ seat on the Executive Committee.

Each member would:

  • Provide core support annually in line with governance policies
  • Sign a Memorandum of Understanding committing to a three-year membership and contributing annually either through individual donation or fundraising
  • Provide targeted support to projects and towards an endowment for young federalists

These members would provide a consistent level of core support which would help stabilize the organization while it innovates.

The Forum will sustain WFM/IGP’s advancement and impact by: 

  • Supporting WFM/IGP’s strategic pathways and operations.
