Chapter Impact Fund
The Chapter Impact Fund is a program for Royal Neighbors of America chapters designed to strengthen the impact chapters make on nonprofits through their volunteer support of fundraising efforts.
Through this fund, Royal Neighbors amplifies chapter-supported fundraising and volunteer efforts by providing a direct donation to the nonprofit organization the chapter supports. By combining meaningful volunteer involvement with fundraising support, the Chapter Impact Fund offers a clear and consistent way for chapters to deepen nonprofit partnerships and extend the impact of their work.
An application for this program is required and must be submitted by the chapter.
How It Works
Chapters interested in the Chapter Impact Fund must apply and share how they plan to support a nonprofit’s fundraising efforts through volunteer involvement. Chapters must apply before the fundraising activity or fundraising event occurs. Please allow two weeks for review. Applications received afterward will be denied.
As part of the application, chapters will:
- Describe how the chapter will volunteer in support of a nonprofit’s fundraising effort
- Share information about the nonprofit and how its mission aligns with Royal Neighbors of America’s values and commitment to community impact
This information helps ensure Royal Neighbors’ support is mission-aligned and reflective of the chapter’s engagement with the nonprofit.
