This position is often also a Raffle Coordinator. It's good to note that the responsibilities of the Silent Auction Coordinator can be split up.
Hours required: a couple hours a week at least, then 10-20 hours the week of the event.
What ya gotta do:
- Check out and update donation request documentation, like the Donation Request form and the Donation Receipt.
- Walk around to or call local businesses and request donations. Often this takes more than one try per business, and some businesses require (or may be more convinced by) a personalized letter at least 6 weeks before the event.
- Keep a running record of who's been contacted how many times, when to call back, etc. Spreadsheets are handy for this. This part is also important if more than one person is asking for donations around town so requestors don't overlap.
