Set Goals: Setting a goal will focus your fundraising campaign and
provide clear levels to attain. Without clear
levels your campaign will lack direction and become
stagnant for everyone involved.
Get everyone that is
involved together. How many will be helping out? What is their
expertise? The more that participate the more money you will raise
for your cause. Effective fundraising is based and driven
by numbers.
Establish a realistic financial goal.
How much does your organization need to raise? Being aware
of this amount will help you choose a fundraiser that is going to be
effective and rewarding.
Decide on a time line that is practical. When
is the money needed that you are raising? Set exact beginning and
ending dates for your fundraiser. Organization of time is very important
when bringing people together toward a common goal.
Plan The Fundraiser:
Select a fundraising program as far in advance as
possible to provide plenty of time for planning, especially
during any holiday seasons. If your organization has an
event calendar, be sure your event is included in the calendar as
well.
Avoid "fundraising fatigue" among parents and
volunteers by conducting fewer programs that are more effective, unique and rewarding
individually.
Do your best not to allow your fundraising
profits to become erroded by unforeseen "hidden" costs such as
shipping, setup costs, etc. Get this information up front.
Manage The
Fundraiser: Keep involvment levels high by
communicating before, during and after the program. Remind parents,
teachers, coaches, managers and other volunteers of the fundraiser's
goals and campain timeline. Provide concise status reports and updates
to keep everyone informed about the campain's progress.
Avoid shipping and ordering problems by
working closely with volunteers to assure that all order forms are legible
and filled out completely. After the forms are turned in is not when you
want unexpected problems to surface.
Communicate with people that could not
be present that may have missed important fundraiser meetings.

Fundraising Safety
Tips
The most important aspect of
running a fundraiser is safety. It is the one aspect of successful
fundraising that should never, ever be compromised. Below is a listing of some
important safety issues to abide by when running a fundraiser from
our company or any company for that matter.
Never allow children
to solicit orders door-to-door unless accompanied by a responsible
adult guardian.
Never allow children
to enter homes or unsecured areas. Successful fundraising can be
done without taking such risks.
Never allow children to
carry collected monies unless accompanied by a responsible
adult. | |
