Charge

The RUSA Fundraising and Sponsorships Committee is tasked with identifying and executing innovative fundraising initiatives to support RUSA’s programs, awards, and events. The committee will coordinate and implement activities such as Giving Days, sponsorship campaigns, and other revenue-generating events, targeting both vendor partnerships and institutional support. In collaboration with RUSA leadership, the committee will plan and implement fundraising campaigns in coordination with relevant groups or units, including RUSA program and conference committees, the RUSA Board, and the ALA Development Office. The committee will also supervise sponsorship efforts for events such as the President’s Program, preconferences, and other signature RUSA events. Additionally, the committee ensures that RUSA sections and committees receive guidance and training on cultivating and maintaining sponsor relationships, with the goal of securing sustainable financial resources to further RUSA’s mission.
