*Generosity Committee Members

The Generosity Committee is the fundraising committee of EBMC. Members of the Generosity Committee contribute to our multiple fundraising efforts by giving of their time, talents and energy. Some of the arenas of fundraising members work on include: the Friends of EBMC monthly donor program; the Blossoming Community Person-to-Person (major donor) Campaign; event planning and implementation (3 major events a year); grant research and writing; email and end-of-year solicitations; dana talks; and donor appreciation. No fundraising experience is necessary. We view fundraising as sacred work, and in addition to taking on fundraising tasks, members participate in conversations about money and the Dharma and collectively determine how to implement values-based fundraising practices.  The Committee meets once every 3 weeks and members work on projects in collaboration with other members and staff.
