Development & Special Events
The Forum For Equality relies on individual contributions and grants to accomplish its mission. To that end, our Fund Development & Special Events Committee develops overall fund-raising strategy initiatives and specific fund raising campaigns. As a Committee of the Board of Directors, this committee helps the Board develop and seek philanthropic gifts. It also establishes the charitable contribution goals for the annual budget and devises the annual fund development plan to be adapted and executed by the Board. The chair of the committee is primarily responsible for engaging the Board in strategic decision-making regarding philanthropy and fund development. Member of the committee help cultivate relationships with potential donors and help with fund-raising events.
