Fundraising Volunteer

Are you passionate about using your skills to help make Canadian cities more

sustainable? Would you like to join a team with a clear focus and goals?

THE OPPORTUNITY

Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) is seeking few new volunteers for our fundraising

team. Current members are keen and performing well. Yet, someone with broad

fundraising experience would be a great asset. The current focus of the team is on

obtaining funding for a youth climate action project to take place in five Canadian Cities.

Funding of core costs is also being pursued.

BACKGROUND

A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) is an urban-centred region where teams educate and

engage people in activities to develop a culture of sustainability. BEC Canada (BECC) is

a national charity that supports development of BECs in Ottawa, Toronto, Brampton,

Edmonton, and Vancouver.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDRAISING TEAM

The Team is divided into sub-teams for Grants Research, Core Support, Partnerships,

and Writing. The team normally meets monthly online and sub-teams may also meet

separately. There is a strong link to the BECC Project Development Team.

COMMITMENT

Volunteers are expected to dedicate 3-4 hours per week, including team meetings. The

time is flexible around other personal commitments.
