Fundraising
Looking for a fun and exciting fundraising opportunity? Volunteering at the RBC Center is a great way for nonprofit groups to raise money while being right in the action!
We hope that you take advantage of this exciting work environment that will return revenues to the community and provide a flexible volunteer schedule for your nonprofit group.
Typical nonprofit groups involved with the RBC Center include high school booster clubs, civic organizations, churches and any other nonprofit organization that retains a 501 C (3) Status.
Every group has its own method of enticing people to volunteer, but most rely on members, parents and friends to sell candy and have bake sales to raise funds. Volunteers generally agree that giving of their time at these events is an easier and more dependable way to earn a significant amount of money than traditional car washes or raffle ticket sales.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM TESTIMONIALS
Many groups throughout the triangle have made money for their worthy causes while having fun along the way.
United House of Prayer For All People / Raleigh, NC
Our local organization has been fortunate and blessed in our financial success through the partnership program offered through the RBC Center. We have been able to set goals and feel confident that in working with the program with the RBC we would reach them.
We also have been enriched by the culture of the events we participated in and gained new friendships. Training was offered which enhanced our awareness of the specifics that also govern the RBC and our handling of the clientele. We thank the RBC Center for the opportunity to be a part of their rewarding partnership program.
Southeast Raleigh High School Band Boosters
The Southeast Raleigh High School Band Boosters support our school band through efforts to enhance musical education. We do this by providing funding along with active adult support for band competitions and performances within our local community and in more distant locations. Our funding provides uniforms, instruments, music and transportation for the students in the band. We also provide college scholarships for graduating seniors.
Since we began our association with the RBC Center in 2005, our group has benefited tremendously from the funding provided by working at RBC concessions. We appreciate having the opporutnity to work with the RBC Center to support the Southeast Raleigh High School Band. We look forward to a continued partnership.
