FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
The fundraising committee is responsible for financing the
EWB-UCIN projects from assessment through implementation. The
funds enable the chapter to procure building materials, make
traveling arrangements, provide temporary living accommodations
for traveling members, purchase vaccinations for traveling
members, and pay for other miscellaneous chapter resources.
To raise these funds, the Fundraising Committee is partnering
with the Logistics Committee, Engineering Committee, Health
Committee, and Culture Committee to develop a marketing
portfolio. Local businesses are either hand delivered a
portfolio during onsite presentations or mailed a portfolio to
introduce the chapter, its mission, and its goals to the
company. This portfolio provides the business with an
opportunity to invest in the current project and chapter through
charitable, tax deductible donations. (Engineers Without
Borders – USA ™ is a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit organization.)
Although donations from local businesses are the main source
of funding, multiple methods exist for raising money including:
fundraising dinners, campus events, grants, etc.
The Fundraising Committee offers growth and
experience in the following areas:
- Project specific budgeting
- Developing marketing portfolios
- Charitable donations
- Giving presentations
Individuals who would like to join the Fundraising Committee
should contact EWB-UCIN to get plugged in.
