Volunteer Board Member - Revenue Generation

CEF BOARD RECRUITMENT – AUGUST 2026

Objective

The CEF Board aims to recruit new members to strengthen our capabilities in fundraising/ revenue generation and strategic networking. This includes individuals with expertise in confidently presenting pitch decks to potential funders and partners.

Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back and volunteer with a social enterprise?

Compassionate Eye Foundation is a registered Canadian charity that leverages the power of creative people and photography in partnership with Getty Images to fund global development projects that improve lives worldwide.

We are looking for new volunteer Board Members to join our team to build on CEF’s 21 year history and to help chart our path forward. CEF is not a typical charity: up until now, CEF has generated all charitable revenues through a unique social enterprise model, selling photography through Getty Images. As the stock photography industry evolves, we are working to grow and diversify our revenue stream by exploring new funding models for partnership, sponsorship or donations from corporations.

In order to enhance the capabilities of our board, we are seeking candidates whose skills are well-suited to current vacancies within our revenue generation committee. In particular we are looking for people with an entrepreneurial mindset with particular expertise and interest in:

• Fundraising and revenue generation, including corporate partnerships, corporate social responsibility and donor development

Explore this opportunity! Please see below the ideal skills we are seeking in new board members for the open positions.

Involvement as a Board Member will look like:

• Volunteering (approximately 10 hours/month)
• Attending monthly virtual board meetings (approximately 2 hours/meeting)
• Participating in minimum of one working committee of the Board (current committee with vacancies: revenue generation)
• Developing new Board strategies to support cultivation, stewardship and growth of corporate giving and partnerships.
