Fundraising Committee Volunteer
Commitment: 1-year term
Meetings: Second Tuesday of every month, 1–2 PM
Fundraising is about so much more than asking for money — it’s about building relationships, sharing stories, and creating meaningful opportunities for others to support our mission. We’re looking for a diverse team of volunteers to help organize, strategize, and energize our fundraising efforts.
We’re seeking volunteers with a mix of strengths to help energize and expand our fundraising efforts. Roles include community ambassadors who can represent us at events and networking meetings; Data-minded volunteers to help track metrics and strengthen our storytelling with hard hitting data; Event-savvy planners to support larger events; and creative idea generators who bring fresh perspectives, honest feedback, and a willingness to brainstorm and try new approaches. If you love connecting, analyzing, organizing, or dreaming up new possibilities — there’s a place for you on this committee.
Available Roles:
- Community Ambassador
