What is the primary role of an FBLA chapter in fundraising?

The primary role of an FBLA chapter in fundraising is to support chapter activities and community service projects. Fundraising efforts are essential for maintaining the operational needs of the chapter, allowing it to organize events, workshops, and meetings that contribute to the professional development of its members. Additionally, the funds raised help facilitate community service initiatives, fostering a spirit of social responsibility and engagement among members while also enhancing the chapter’s impact in the community.

Although the other options may encompass important functions that can arise from fundraising, they are not the primary role of a chapter. For example, while fundraising can help cover travel expenses for competitions or provide scholarships, these are specific uses of raised funds rather than the overarching purpose of the fundraising efforts themselves. The central focus remains on sustaining and enhancing the experiences and services offered to chapter members and the local community.
