    Description

    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:

    1. Community Ambassador

    For the outgoing, people-loving connector

    • Serve as a positive, inspiring representative of Community Support Advocates at community events, networking meetings, and partner gatherings.
    • Build new relationships with individuals, businesses, and community groups who may be interested in supporting our mission.
    • Share stories, speak confidently about our programs, and help spark interest in our work.
    • Identify opportunities for visibility, collaboration, and outreach.
    1. Data & Metrics Lead

    For the analytical thinker who loves turning information into insight

    • Help create and refine systems for tracking meaningful fundraising metrics.

    • Work with staff to integrate objective impact measures into fundraising stories and reports.
    • Support the committee in making informed decisions based on results and patterns.
    1. Event Planning & Partnerships Coordinator

    For the planner, organizer, or well-connected community builder

    • Provide leadership and support in planning larger fundraising events and campaigns.
    • Contribute creative ideas and logistical expertise to ensure events run smoothly.
    • Leverage personal and professional networks to secure venues, partners, sponsors, vendors, and in-kind support.
    • Help develop materials, timelines, and processes that keep event planning on track.
    1. Creative Strategist & Idea Generator

    For the visionary, the dreamer, and the “what if we tried this?” thinker

    • Bring fresh ideas, new approaches, and innovative strategies to the committee.
    • Help brainstorm campaign concepts, storytelling angles, engagement activities, and community-wide efforts.
    • Assist in testing new ideas and supporting their implementation.
    • Ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and help the committee refine its approach.
