Ten Ways to Help IFPB Grow
Resources for Past Delegation Participants
1. Use our sign-up sheets at your events.
Help us build our networks by inviting people to join our list.
Download sign-up sheets and get get advice on using them here.
Monthly donations sustain our work, and make giving easy in small increments. We have a goal of reaching 100 monthly givers by the end of 2010. Give an hour or your salary.
We need our message to get out as widely as possible. Grab a stack of our fliers—and help us get past the choir. We’re always happy to give you more materials.
House parties are a great way to educate others, build momentum in your local community, and raise money for Interfaith Peace-Builders. It can be big or small. Start off by hosting neighbors. And contact staff and use our House Party Packet to help you organize.

IFPB has a presence on Facebook, Change.org, and several other social networking sites. Invite your friends and contacts to check out our Facebook page and become fans. If you have your own blog, add IFPB to your list of links. Click on the links below for our pages on Facebook, Change.org, YouTube, and Flickr.
More and more we’re getting donations here and there from Social Justice Committees and other organized groups like this. They can really help us make a difference in educating Americans and raising up the work of Israeli and Palestinian nonviolent activists.
IFPB has a small (but dedicated) core of supporters. In any given year, we have about 300 individual donors. To secure ourselves for the future we need to widen our base. Help us by inviting your friends to consider a gift. Tell them how important your delegation was to you—and see if they are interested in support.
Would your local work and organizing be strengthened by sending someone from your community on a delegation every year? Organize to raise money to offer a scholarship for a future delegation for someone from your area or community.

In the coming months we hope to roll-out an ad-hoc task force of past delegates to help us keep on top of resources and materials to better support delegate needs. Contact IFPB staff if you’re interested in participating with this effort.
Delegates and Board Members in Cleveland are starting a regional grouping to better coordinate work and advocacy and find ways to support IFPB through recruiting, outreach, and fundraising. Start a local group in your area!
