Daughters Advocating for Restoration needs your help! We are raising funds to help us see a victory in RESTORING AND PRESERVING the Daughters of the American Revolution as a women's only organization!

Daughters Advocating for Restoration is now designated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit making your donations tax-deductible!

There is a grassroots campaign underway by members to compel the President General to call a Special Meeting according to Article VIII, Section 7 of the NSDAR National Bylaws. This Special Meeting shall be called at the request of thirty chapters in 10 states. The anticipated date of the Special Meeting is October 11, 2026 - the 136th anniversary of the DAR and falls within the bisesquicentennial birth of America!

At this Special Meeting, the Daughters will vote on a Resolution that will once and for all, define a woman and codify the eligibility requirements for membership in the DAR, explicitly excluding men who self-identify as women. The Resolution reads:

What do we need donations for?

Donations coming in through the GiveSendGo link continue to serve the purpose of advocating for women-only membership in DAR. Specifically, professional consulting fees as to parliamentary procedure, legal analysis, strategy, mailing costs, travel for those needing help, and anything specifically earmarked by donors. There are no staff expenses, no admin expenses, no director expenses, nothing but those essential expenses to achieve the mission.

Once the Special Meeting is called we will need to have funds available to retain Tim Wynn, PRP in his continued guidance leading up the Special Meeting.

Tim Wynn is president of Perfect Rules Inc., a parliamentary consulting company he founded with his brother Todd. He has received the highest credential awarded by the National Association of Parliamentarians, having attained the designation of Professional Registered Parliamentarian, which is bestowed only upon those who have demonstrated the highest levels of prowess in Teaching, Presiding, Opinion Writing, and serving as Meeting Parliamentarian. He serves many national and international organizations around the country and currently serves as the Head Parliamentarian for the United States Conference of Mayors and has served two consecutive terms as Parliamentarian of the Biennium for the National Association of Parliamentarians (the parliamentarians' parliamentarian).

In addition to raising funds for Mr. Wynn we hope to raise funds to help offset costs for members to be able to travel to Washington D.C. for the meeting who might not otherwise afford to go. Funds will also be used to pay for expenses like postage, technology (Zoom Account) etc..

Please consider donating to this cause and be counted among those who help RESTORE and preserve the Daughters of the American Revolution as it was founded – by women, for women!
