Ambassador Program

Being an Ambassador is more than volunteering your time.

Ambassadors are:

Individuals who want to support our work and are dedicated to insuring transgender veterans are treated as equals.

• People who already embrace patriotic Americans who served their country honorably.

• Transgender veterans and others who know first hand what discrimination and bigotry look like and want to help change policy, as well as hearts and minds.

You will become a valuable part of the TAVA team joining us in:

• Recruiting more transgender veteran sponsors via friends, colleagues and family.

• Organize local fundraising events.

• Solicit major gifts; assist with special events, donor recognition, thank you notes, etc.

• Be a positive spokesperson for TAVA, learn key messages and elevator speech

• Join us at seminars and exhibitions spreading the news of our work.

• Give presentations in their communities with the aim of:

  • Raising the profile of TAVA

  • Recruiting more fundraisers for TAVA.

  • Encouraging donations for TAVA projects.

  • Recruiting people to join our fight for equal rights.

As an Ambassador Volunteer, you will agree to do the following:

• Lend Name. Ambassadors will agree to allow the organization to use their name in public relations materials and in solicitation of key prospects throughout the area.

• Spokesperson. Speak positively about the organization and the campaign, and be prepared to answer basic questions. Rely on the board of directors for detailed information.

• Open Doors. Review the prospect list and indicate those with whom they can arrange a meeting. Also suggest new prospects to add to our list.

• Gift. Make a gift up to your financial ability. We seek 100% participation by Ambassadors.

• Confidentiality. Maintain confidentiality at all times as donor/prospect information is shared with committee members.

All ambassadors will be given full training and the necessary resource to support our work to bring equality to transgender veterans.
