Internal Fundraising

Today we are going to look into a totally different fundraiser.  Let’s call this an internal fundraiser for lack of any better title.

We are going to make some assumptions to go along with this, but feel free to apply this to any other organization.  So, here we go.  You are responsible for raising funds for a large sports team.  The group has more than 200 hundred families involved.

As part of sign-up day you ask that each family contributes one favorite family recipe and $5.00 as part of a special sign-up donation.  Each family will get a team “cookbook”.  We are going to say that at least 80% follow through.  A couple of volunteers could handle this table easily.

So what you have is 160 donations of $5.00 and that gives you $800 income.  You put the collection of recipe into a word processor and set up all of the pages for the cookbook.  These pages with a cover picture now go to your local printer and for $300 he does your Team Cookbooks.  The results is that this fundraiser gives your team a special family value and $500 in the clear.  Consider a good old fashion bake sale as an alternative.

Just as an idea you could raise the same amount by having just 100 Sunset Coupon Books for sale at Sign-up and raise the same amount if only 50% buy a coupon book and you have a lot less work.  It is up to you.

Give us a call and talk over your options.
