Fundraising Committee

The Fundraising Committee's job is not simply to raise money. Instead, the Fundraising Committee is responsible for overseeing the organization's overall fundraising and, in particular, the fundraising done by the board. To accomplish this, its responsibilities are:

• To work with staff to establish a fundraising plan that incorporates a series of appropriate vehicles, such as special events, direct mail, product sales, etc.
• To work with fundraising staff in their efforts to raise money
• To take the lead in certain types of outreach efforts, such as chairing a dinner/dance
• committee or hosting fundraising parties, etc.
• To be responsible for involvement of all board members in fundraising, such as having board
• members make telephone calls to ask for support, and
• To monitor fundraising efforts to be sure that ethical practices are in place, that donors are
• acknowledged appropriately, and that fundraising efforts are cost-effective.
