2026-2027
CPP Fundraising Competition
What is this initiative?
The Collective Philanthropy Project (CPP) Cabinet is hosting a fundraising competition for UVSA-Midwest member schools. This optional initiative allows VSAs to compete against each other in raising funds for the CPP beneficiary over the course of the school year. The objective of this project is to encourage VSAs to spread awareness about the CPP beneficiary and incentivize contributions to support the CPP beneficiary. Participating VSAs will have the chance to win prizes and gain recognition for their efforts.
How does it work?
-
After registration closes, the CPP Cabinet will assign each registered VSA to a tier based on its size to ensure fairness in the competition.
-
VSAs will be responsible for raising funds and gathering donations for the CPP beneficiary.
Donations should be sent to @NCTXenon on Venmo. Send a screenshot proof of donation to a POC (see below) to be added to the leaderboard.
-
Track your VSA’s progress here on UVSA-Midwest’s CPP Fundraising Competition page. After the registration period, a leaderboard will be displayed for all tiers.
-
The CPP Cabinet will provide a presentation with information about CPP, the beneficiary, and the CPP Fundraising Competition, as well as a list of fundraising ideas for VSAs.
-
The top VSAs from each tier will receive an award at the 24th VIA-1 conference.
