Fundraising

Among other responsibilities, our board members play a key role in raising funds for ZGiRLS. It is an expectation of board service that you will introduce people in your sphere of influence to our work and invite them to know and do more – as prospective volunteers, board members, staff and as donors.


Our organization commits to providing you with the information and tools necessary for you to stand as a vocal and visible ambassador for our work.


Further, we expect every board member to make a financial commitment for each year of board service that represents one of the most significant annual donations you make.


Time

Board service is a true commitment of time and energy. We estimate that board service could be a commitment of 4 to 6 hours each month, which includes:

  • Attend a virtual ZGiRLS Confidence Program session [1 hr] once per year.
  • ZGiRLS Gala (3rd Friday in March) in Seattle, WA
  • Annual Board retreat (late Sept or early Oct weekend day) in Seattle, WA
  • Virtual board meetings: First Wednesday of the month from 6-8pm PST [2 hr] in the following months: Jan, Feb, Mar, May, Jun, Sep, Nov, Dec
  • Virtual board committees: Monthly [1 hr] scheduled by committee
