Overview

Mission

Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) is a member-based organization whose mission is to oppose U.S. militarism and involvement in wars. WAMM challenges systems of harm, oppression and exploitation, and helps build movements of solidarity with others for peace and justice through education and action.

What it reported doing in 2024

WAMM sponsored dozens of educational events on peace and justice related topics with speakers in person or online reaching over 2,500 individuals. The organization's community events created publicly visible representations of our issues. Four weekly vigils alerted passersby to the destruction caused by US wars, support for oppressive regimes abroad, and US immigration policy. Weekly vigils on Fridays from October-December 2024 hosted speakers to spread awareness of the ongoing war in Israel and the Gaza Strip. The WAMM newsletter was published six times annually and provided in-depth analysis of current issues and opportunities for activists to take action to change the world. The print edition was mailed to 300 households. The online edition was mailed to 400 users. 1,000 print editions are distributed locally. Total number reached exceeds 12,000.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
