Fundraising Committee: Members of the Fundraising Committee maintain relationships with Ujima’s members, supporters, and potential supporters. We urge them to become monthly financial contributors to Ujima or to make one-time contributions so that the party has the resources it needs for community programs and internal functions. This committee aspires to make the Ujima People’s Progress Party financially responsible to Maryland’s poor and working-class people, especially those of African descent. We also invite resources from allies who stand with our cause, no matter their background or location.

Finance committee: Members of Ujima’s Finance Committee assist all other committees within the organization to provide financial oversight. Typical tasks include budgeting and budget approvals, financial planning, and financial reporting. Our goal is to maintain the accountability policies and practices necessary to uphold our financial status. We look forward to your support in helping to build the Ujima Peoples Progress Party!
