CCDC Membership Meeting Notice
It’s An Honor To Be An Honorary Chair
Thunk You From The Families Of
Elder Clevon Wright, Sr & Pastor Clarence W illiams, Jr
There are many ways
to increase the number of peo
ple who are aware of your
nonprofit organization and its
fundraising activities. These
include your website, social
media, events, participating in
conferences and gatherings,
advertising, participating as a
panelist at a community event,
or sharing information on ra
dio, tv, podcast, or other media.
Another way is through the use
of an “honorary chair.” This is
a strategy for affiliating your
work with the work of oth
ers, and in so doing, increas
ing awareness of your work.
Here’s how it works.
When you have an
event or a fundraising cam
paign there are roles for volun
teers to play that are important
in getting the word out and
inviting people to participate
and/or to give. These include
a chair(s) and an honorary
chair(s). Here’s the difference:
the chair of an event or a cam
paign plays a major role in cul
tivating and soliciting donors,
sponsors, and funders; they are
actively involved in managing
the event or campaign; and
they have a feeling of respon
sibility to do all that they can to
ensure the event or campaign
meets its goals.
An honorary chair,
on the other hand, plays a
more ceremonial role. They
are typically individuals who
believe in the mission, vision,
and work of your nonprofit
and who are known for that
commitment. This could be a
former board member, an au
thor, a professional, an activist,
a parent or grandparent. They
could be locally known or have
an international reputation.
What’s most important is that
when people hear their name,
they have a positive response.
This is important because as
an honorary chair, their name
will be linked with your non
profit. This provides visibility
for your work amongst those
who know the honorary chair,
but who may not (yet!) know
your nonprofit. Their reputa
tion lends credibility to your
organization and its vision, and
it attracts attention. Likewise,
the reputation of your nonprofit
adds positively to their profile.
Ideal honorary chairs
are people who are loved and
respected across the commu
nity. They are people who
others want to identify with,
and who have a history of re
lationships with donors and
prospective donors who you
would like to engage. Their
role as an honorary chair is
simple and straightforward:
You want to use their name in
your fundraising materials and
you would like for them to at
tend your event or campaign
celebration, if possible. That’s
it. Once they agree, you want
to include their names in all
your fundraising and market
ing materials. It would be ideal
if they would personally open
doors for your nonprofit, intro
ducing potential donors to your
work, and encouraging them to
become involved and to pro
vide funding. Another added
benefit would be their will
ingness to serve as a spokes
person. But again, these are
not requirements. Their name
alone should catalyze people to
want to know more about your
nonprofit - and ideally to make
a gift. Honorary chairs can be
a secret superpower to propel
your fundraising.
