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.
