We are looking for a volunteer who knows Greater Giving Fundraising EventSoftware. This system allows us to easily manage all aspects of our annual benefit gala, Taste & Tribute. Thus, creating a smoother experience for not only our guests but for our team as well.
Specifically, we are asking for assistance with recording ticket sales and updating ongoing registration reports, all aspects of the live & silent auctions, and tracking the thank you process after the gala.
This is Taste & Tribute’s 18 th year and one of the most innovative charity dining events you could possibly experience! Truly a one of a kind benefit gala. Our date is set for November 16, 2018, at the Four Seasons in San Francisco. We will have twenty-five renowned Bay Area and Wine Country chefs working in pairs to create an exquisite four-course culinary experience tableside for 220 guests.
All proceeds go to supporting our mission to help preserve the Tibetan culture and spiritual heritage. Thus far Tibetan Aid Project and our sister organizations have printed over 5 million texts in the Tibetan language and freely distributed them to over 3300 libraries, monasteries, and centers of learning across the Himalayan region.
We would love for you to part of this most profound effort to protect Tibet’s wisdom and compassion culture for the benefit of the Tibetan people and all humanity.

Mission Statement
For over fifty years, the Tibetan Aid Project (TAP) has dedicated its efforts to restoring and preserving Tibet's cultural and spiritual heritage. Working with an all-volunteer staff, the Project has served as a bridge between donors in the West and the Tibetan people.
Description
Tibetan Aid Project is a part of the Nyingma Mandala, a Buddhist community based in the U.S. and rooted in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. We fund the production, shipment and free distribution of sacred texts, art and prayer wheels to monasteries and individuals in the Himalayan region. We also sponsor ceremonies, retreats for healing professionals, and provide financial support for monastic centers, lamas, monks, nuns and lay people. We strive to promote awareness of these significant teachings through our work-study program providing participants the opportunity to share their skills, while also gaining an understanding of work as meditative practice. This allows us to learn through direct experience, developing a heart connection that permeates throughout all experience,
Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku founded the community in 1969 in Berkeley, California and continues to lead it today. Since the beginning, the Nyingma community has engaged in many projects to preserve Tibetan culture and share the Buddhist teachings. Our community refers to these projects collectively as a mandala of organizations because each one embodies a specific quality that supports, balances, and enhances the others, as well as the community as a whole. The Nyingma Association of Mandala Organizations (NAMO) is comprised of the following Berkeley-based organizations: Nyingma Institute, Mangalam Center, Dharma College, Tibetan Aid Project, Guna Foundation. NAMO also includes other centers located in rural Sonoma County and worldwide.
