Fundraising Culture
At NRSA, every Board Member is expected to contribute to the financial health of the organization. We follow the principle of “Give, Get, or Get Off”, which reflects our values of shared responsibility and sustainability:
- Give: You may choose to make a voluntary personal donation.
- Get: You may help raise funds, build partnerships, or bring in other resources.
- Get Off: You may step down if unable to support in either way.
As part of this culture, the Treasurer plays a key leadership role in upholding and encouraging financial stewardship within the Board. This includes:
- Reminding the Board of Trustees about the “Give, Get, or Get Off” principle during regular meetings or financial updates
- Presenting the current month’s operational expenses to help the Board understand our financial needs
- Encouraging contributions by clearly explaining how each Board member can support sustainability through giving or resource mobilization
This responsibility ensures transparency, keeps financial needs visible, and promotes a shared commitment to NRSA’s ongoing operations and mission impact.
This is a volunteer and remote position with flexible hours, ideal for someone passionate about public service and road safety. As part of our founding board, you will help shape the financial foundation of a growing nonprofit.
What We Can Offer:
- Recognition and visibility in national road safety advocacy efforts
- Leadership development, networking, and growth opportunities
- Engagement in high-impact programs and advocacy initiatives
- Certificate of service and letters of recommendation
- The opportunity to help shape a national alliance from the ground up
When Budget Permits:
We hope to offer modest per diem or honorarium for:
- Attending out-of-town events and conferences
- Leading or representing NRSA in official capacities
As NRSA expands through partnerships and funding, honoraria or performance-based incentives for key volunteer leaders will be considered, subject to financial sustainability and Board review.
If you’re a committed finance professional who believes in making roads safer and communities stronger, we’d love to hear from you.
