About the Opportunity

We have an active Givebutter fundraiser and need to raise $17,000 in three weeks to fund our Supportive Housing Program services and operations. We are seeking a focused, short-term fundraising strategy and outreach support to secure these critical, time-sensitive donations.

Timeline and Implementation: Implementation is expected immediately. The volunteer will be jumping straight into execution rather than just planning for a future period.

Specific Dates: The fundraising campaign officially begins on September 8th, 2026, with the specific goal of raising $17,000 by November 30th, 2026.

Execution Roadmap: A weekly schedule mapping out fundraising tasks from September 8 to November 30.

Donor Target List: A plan identifying local businesses and groups to approach for housing donations.

Communication Plan
Donor Email Templates: Three written templates (Kickoff, Progress Update, and Final Push) to send to our contact list.

Tracking Tools
Fundraising Tracker: A simple spreadsheet dashboard to monitor progress toward the $17,000 goal.

Upon successful completion of this project, AFC-CDC will have a fully operational fundraising engine ready to secure critical funding for our community. Success will be measured by the following outcomes:
1. Financial Goal Attainment: We raise the full $17,000 by November 30, 2026, directly funding the continuation and expansion of our Supportive Housing Services.

2. Campaign Readiness: Our campaign launches smoothly on September 8, 2026, using a finalized, weekly execution roadmap and a pre-written suite of email templates and social media assets.

3. Operational Clarity: Our team can track progress in real-time using a simple, data-driven fundraising dashboard to monitor donations against our target.

4. Sustainable Assets: We walk away with a reusable toolkit of messaging and tracking assets that we can adapt for future housing advocacy and fundraising initiatives.
