Fundraising
Made Simple!
- Set
firm dates and expectations for your fundraising event
at the beginning.
- Start
by contacting people that you know. These are the
people that a most likely to help out your cause.
Ask everyone you know (family, co-workers, neighbors,
friend, teachers, business owners, etc).
-
Having a positive attitude and knowledge of your product
will increase your chances for success.
- Sell
the cause and not the product. It is most effective
if you let people know what the money will support.
-
Try fundraising in the places where you spend money.
Contact not only members of the community, but area
businesses you support as well.
- Don't
be afraid to ask for help. Ask your spouse or other
family members to help with your fundraising event.
- Make
a strong personal commitment to your cause. Those
you are selling to will be more willing to sponsor
an event you are committed to yourself.
- Be
sure you have a clear goal/objective in mind.
- Make
sure that the entire group, school district, church,
sports teams, fire company, organization, etc is aware
of why you are raising money. Educate your group!
- Stress
the importance of their support, whether big or small
let them know every bit helps.
- Set
a realistic goal for your group and publicize it as
you go along. Keep your group well informed of it's
success!
- If
applicable make up a flyer before the event and an
update/collection report after the event.
- Set
up a competition/challenge between the groups.
- Create
a fundraising list of people and businesses that have
supported you and fund raising will become faster
and smoother each year.
- Be
sure to thank everyone for their hard work, support,
and efforts.
- The
profit from your fundraiser can exceed your expectations
if everyone does their part.
