From the beginning, I Love a Parade has believed in paying our artists. Not only does it reflect a cultural validation, it offers the women some stability as they participate in our program. We are able to pay them $10.00 an hour. In order for us to accomplish this goal we have to supplement the sale of our unique products through private and public donations. You can help us continue to pay our artists a living wage by joining our "Bandwagon of Friends" donors or "Beyond the Faces Society" for multiple year giving.

Other Ways to Help:

• Become a member of ILAP's "Bandwagon of Friends" - single year donor
• Become a member of the "Beyond the Faces Society" - multi-year donor
• Contribute your skills as a human resource professional, designer, organizer, public speaker etc.
• Help setup/participate in art fairs and exhibits
• Volunteer on a committee or on the Board of Directors
• Host a fundraising event
• Share your ideas
• Refer funding sources to ILAP (individual, charitable groups, foundations, family, etc.)
• Sponsor The Dolls exhibit by asking your church, company, civic organization, etc. to provide a venue.
• Share your creative skills and ideas with ILAP artists
