The '''Fundraising Committee''' of The Augustan Society, Inc., is responsible for all fundraising activities, and for advising on suitable pricing and profit margins for all products offered by the Society. It is normally chaired by the [[Treasurer]] or a [[Fundraising Chairman]] who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Treasurer.
At present, the Treasurer being unable to shoulder this duty, the entire [[Board|Board of Directors]] have been seated as a Committee-of-the-Whole to serve as the Fundraising Committee, with the [[President]] serving as Chairman.Common fundraising programs include:
Active fundraising programs include: * [[Annual Fundraiser]]
* [["Buy-A-Box"]] Program, to fund Library shelving and other equipment.
* ''[[Augustan Omnibus]]'' advertising
* [[Sponsored Membership|Sponsorship]] campaign
* [[Book Repair]] campaign
Other programs may exist from time to time, and the [[Sub-Groups]] may operate their own fundraising programs outside the control of this Committee.
To dateIn some years, the [[Budget]] has been adopted with fundraising goals that are set without consulting this Committee, possibly occasionally leading to unrealistic goals. This practice should be discouraged. In some years, but as the Board and Committee presently have identical membershiphas decided to forego the use of a Budget. Not as unwise as it may appear, there at this point our only discretionary spending is no recourseon Collection Development, Book Repair, and the rare capital purchase, all of which will be submitted to the Board for prior approval.
