Fundraising occurs throughout the year with the bulk of FAUSA’s charitable funds being raised at FAUSA's Annual Meeting and Getaway through our silent and live auctions, as well as our always popular quilt drawing.
Our silent and live auctions currently take place during Annual Meeting/Getaways that take place in various cities throughout the US. FAUSA members raise most of our charitable and operating budget through the auctions, our quilt drawing, and donations during this special weekend. And what’s more, we continuously surpass our old records!
We commonly receive charitable donations for our auctions in the form of jewelry, clothing, handbags, virtual cooking and educational workshops, hotel and homestays, and unique one-of-a-kind experiences.

iGive
Your online shopping benefits FAUSA's philanthropy through iGive.com
You can shop online and, at the same time and AT NO ADDITIONAL cost, make a donation to FAUSA's philanthropic fund. FAUSA has registered as a “cause” through iGive, which currently has more than 2200 top retailers and services in its online “mall.” FAUSA invites its members to register with iGive and indicate “FAUSA” as their cause. It’s easy, and it’s free.
- Go to: http://www.iGive.com/FAUSA.
- Fill out the simple registration form and submit (remember to write down your password!)
- Once you have registered, enter the iGive.com website, log on and search the site for your favorite retailer or service. From there, click on the retailer’s link. After that, all you need to do is “shop 'til you drop”. A percentage of the purchase (before shipping and taxes) will be donated to FAUSA.
- Please note: If you enter the website using the basic iGive.com website address (and not from the link above), you will have to enter “FAUSA” as your cause.
San Juan Mountain Roasters Coffee
Do you love coffee? Or maybe, you need a gift for a coffee-loving friend? Try our newest way to help FAUSA add to our philanthropic funds. Just go to the site for San Juan Mountain Roasters and find our special package of FAUSA coffee. For every bag purchased through the site ($15 for a 15 oz bag), FAUSA will receive $6. No minimum order required, but shipping outside of the US may incur a larger shipping expense. This is a new venture for FAUSA, started by our past Philanthropy Director, Marilee Watts! Try it and share with your friends!
