How it Works:
Any trained UrbanPlan volunteer who spends at least three hours volunteering in person within a calendar month, in a Bay Area classroom or for a Bay Area UrbanPlan for Communities workshop, will be automatically entered into ULI SF’s monthly raffle. Every three hours spent in person in the classroom each month, will get you entered into the raffle. Thus, if you volunteer six hours in one month, you are entered twice for that month, nine hours you are entered three times for that month, etc.

At the end of every month, ULI SF staff will randomly select a winner, who can choose one of the following ULI prizes:

• One year Associate ULI Membership or equivalent value towards a Full Membership. Can renew an existing membership if already a member (a $540 value).
•  $500 stipend to use towards ULI SF or ULI Americas events.
• $500 stipend to use towards ULI Learning courses or at ULI’s Bookstore.
• $500 travel expense reimbursement for ULI Fall or Spring meeting.
• Two tickets to ULI SF’s annual Housing the Bay Summit on May 8, 2024.
• One VIP ticket to ULI SF annual Gala on September 28, 2024.

Consistent volunteers can be entered into the raffle every month, even if they win in earlier months. All UrbanPlan volunteer awardees will be recognized on ULI’s website and in our marketing communications.

In addition to having the opportunity to win ULI prizes monthly, we will also be recognizing those members who volunteer the most hours every semester. Individuals who volunteer the most in-person hours will be eligible to receive the “UrbanPlan Superstar” award and can choose one of the following:

• One year of ULI Full Membership ($1,332 value).
• Registration and travel to ULI’s Fall or Spring Meeting (Registration + $800 travel stipend).
• $1,000 stipend to use towards ULI SF or ULI Americas events .
• $1,000 stipend to use towards ULI Learning courses or at ULI’s Bookstore .
• Four tickets to ULI SF’s annual Housing the Bay Summit on May 8, 2024.
• Two VIP ticket to ULI SF annual Gala on September 28, 2024.

Please note that prizes cannot be transferred to other ULI members and must be used by December 31st, 2024.
