Fundraising Volunteer 12jun2025 

Are you passionate about using your skills to help make Canadian cities more sustainable? 
Would you like to join a team with a clear focus and goals? 

THE OPPORTUNITY 

Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) is seeking two new volunteers for its six-person 
fundraising team. Current members are keen and performing well. Yet, someone with 
broad fundraising experience would be a great asset. The current focus of the team is on 
obtaining funding for a youth climate action project to take place in five Canadian Cities. 
Funding of core costs is also being pursued. 

BACKGROUND 

A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) is an urban-centred region where teams educate and engage 
people in activities to develop a culture of sustainability. BEC Canada (BECC) is a national 
charity that supports development of BECs in Ottawa, Toronto, Brampton, Edmonton, and 
Vancouver. 
 
ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDRAISING TEAM 

The Team is divided into sub-teams for Grants Research, Core Support, Partnerships, and 
Writing. The team normally meets monthly online and sub-teams may also meet 
separately. There is a strong link to the BECC Project Development Team. 

THE COMMITMENT 

Volunteers are expected to dedicate 3-4 hours per week, including team meetings. The 
time is flexible around other personal commitments. 

If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please send your resume or questions to 
<a href="mailto:yann@BioEcoCity.org" target="_blank">yann@BioEcoCity.org</a>.

Biosphere Eco Cities Canada

Fundraising Volunteer

Volunteers for Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada Project Development Team 

(five positions) 

You can join a team developing proposals for sustainability projects in five Canadian cities. 

The Organization 

Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) is a national charity coordinating and supporting the 
development of Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) initiatives in Ottawa, Toronto, Brampton, 
Edmonton, and Vancouver. A BEC initiative engages people and organizations in activities 
that integrate the needs of people and nature to create a culture of sustainability. It helps 
them to develop, implement and share their own ideas on how to address issues of 
sustainability. This brings sustainability into personal lives, communities and workplaces. 
The growing culture of sustainability in a city will inspire action for sustainability among all 
stakeholders – government, business, educational organizations, cultural groups etc. 
Ultimately, these actions will work towards resolution of global problems in areas such as 
climate, biodiversity loss, pollution, resource depletion and world food security, and 
support the resilience of the Biosphere (the Sphere of Life). 

The Task and Team 

While BECs do carry out their own projects, BECC develops national projects that involve 
several or all of the BECs in a coordinated fashion. The BECC Project Development team 
would create national project proposals and present them to the BECC board for review 
and approval. The team would liaise with the BECC Fundraising Team on resources and 
may provide ongoing advice during project implementation and evaluation. 

Key responsibilities 

 • Create or receive project outlines and turn them into project proposals 
 • Add supporting documents, such as project charters, as needed 
 • Liaise with the BECC fundraising team to line up potential project resources 
 • Refer proposals to the BECC board for authority to proceed with procurement of 

resources and implementation of projects. 

A time commitment of 3-4 hours per week is requested. 
 
If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please send your resume or questions to

We can arrange an online interview at a time convenient to you.

Database of Sustainability Projects. The database allows residents to have an overview of the 

many interesting sustainability projects in their city. Visit <a href="https://Edmonton.BioEcoCity.org" target="_blank">https://Edmonton.BioEcoCity.org</a> to 

view project descriptions that have been uploaded to date. 


BACKGROUND 

A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) is an urban-centred region where teams educate and engage 

people in activities to develop a culture of sustainability. BEC Canada (BECC) is a national

ORGANIZATION OF THE DATABASE 

The framework of the database is the 10 BEC Themes of Sustainability – Transportation,

These are broad areas of direct action for sustainability. Organizing the database by Theme 

allows viewers to focus on areas that interest them most.

internet search using one of the Themes of Sustainability or a related keyword, along with 

"Edmonton" and "sustainability." They will review project descriptions and select relevant 

ones to add to the database. Next, they will write a concise description using a project 

template. Once completed, they will contact the project owner to verify the description.

expectation for volunteers is a flexible 3-4 hours per week.

Content will be provided. As a volunteer web developer, you will input and format that material. 
 
In addition to new team projects, there is an initiative to create a Database of Sustainability 
Projects for each city. This allows residents of the city to see the good works going on around 
them. The database is a set of short project summaries that are input to a template (child 
theme) on each site and published. New database postings may happen every week or two. 
 
Your work would be done remotely, with flexible times, in cooperation with staff and volunteers. 
The expected time commitment for these positions is 3-4 hours per week for six months.
