Fundraising Committee
About the AAC fundraising committee:
The AAC fundraising committee is a standing committee that oversees the planning, development, management, and implementation of AAC’s fundraising plan. Its key purpose is to raise funds for professional development, socials, any applicable or available tools or technologies that support AAC committees, and advisor recognition and awards.
The goal is to normalize AAC fundraising, give people comfort levels for donation asks, and streamline the process so anyone can use it. This committee will develop a fundraising plan including goals, strategies, and timelines, find potential donors, organize fundraising events, and manage various fundraising activities to generate financial support. Through fundraising activities, the committee engages donors, volunteers, and sponsors, creating opportunities for involvement.
