You can volunteer with us!
The Becky Lee Women’s Support Fund (Becky’s Fund) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to eradicating domestic violence and supporting battered women in Asian and underrepresented communities. Since volunteers are crucial to our existence, Becky’s Fund seeks volunteers who are organized and efficient and who want to learn more about nonprofit development while supporting the fight against domestic violence. Due to the different activities and programs we run, we can generally use whatever time and skills volunteers can give. However, we do ask for a commitment of at least 9 hours a month.
Some of the different areas of outreach and support that a volunteer can become involved in include the following:
Fundraising: Help plan and assist with fundraising events; identify and contact donors; and research grants.
Event Planning and Community Education: Contact and arrange educational speaking engagements with local organizations; help staff tables at community events and speak on domestic violence issues to a variety of audiences; and assist with college domestic violence tour starting in the fall.
Administrative Help: Provide office support; update forms; research; update website with current information, and assist with mailings.
