Fun Fundraising with Cupcakes

There is a very simple fundraiser that will bring your charity organization together.

Recruit a number of your supporters to bake impressive cupcakes (the fancier, the better) that will be put up for auction.  Make sure your cupcakes are fancy, exciting and very visually pleasing.

Once the cupcakes are ready, gather your supporters and other members of the organization and make a night out of the event.  Use a special and authorized event title like “The _________ Charity’s First Annual Cupcake Auction.”  When people show up, wallets in hand, let the bidding begin.  For added flare, see if you can get a professional auctioneer to emcee the event for free.

We think you’ll see the best success if you use this fundraising idea to raise money for a group that has regular meetings.  That way, people will not only bid based on how they value the individual items, but they will also bid to support people with whom they already have relationships.  This, of course, means higher bids and more fundraising revenue.

You've read this article, now take the next step. Call 1-800-627-6340 for free advice and Sunset Coupons fundraising ideas. 

The key to fundraising is taking action and always making an effort to move forward.

Best Salt Lake City Fundraising Practices

Select the Best Fundraiser that fits your organization.  Decide which fundraiser will best meet your needs and your goals.

Plan ahead! Start planning at least three to six months in advance. Select your fundraiser early to assure ample time to execute it successfully. Schedule your fundraiser to avoid competing with other groups.

It is better to have two to four GREAT fundraisers per year instead of ten mediocre fundraisers. Your donors and customers will both participate more if they know this is the only fundraiser of that season. Don't give them an excuse to toss the current fundraiser aside and wait for the next one.

Set Goals and Deadlines.  Establishing a clear financial goal is absolutely necessary if you want to achieve success. Set a reasonable dollar amount you need to earn and then decide what steps it will take to reach it. Set flexible deadlines to allow meaningful progress.

Promote,  Promote, Promote. Communicate via an email or letter with event information to each potential donor within your organization explaining your fundraising event. Spread the word to generate enthusiasm. Get everyone involved. If you can get each person to participate in some way then the goal is that much easier to achieve. Make a list of potential buyers – family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances. Let everyone know why you are fundraising.

Do incentives work?  While incentives do work, be careful that the incentives don't dilute the profits from your fundraiser. Make up your incentives with donated prizes or a small party, Be creative. Set a goal for each group or a contest to raise more money than other groups. Give them another reason to sell. 

Keep your fundraiser short  It is recommend to be no more than a couple of week selling period.  Your can work three weekends into your schedule. You can budget some  time for late orders to come in.

Get volunteers to help organize and delegate to help lighten your work load. Assign specific tasks to each volunteer. Communicate before during and after the Fundraiser. Keep in mind that too many volunteers are really worse than not enough.  As you do more fundraisers it will be easier to gauge the number of volunteers you need.

Remember the first step in doing a fundraiser, is actually getting started! Call Sunset Coupons so we can help.

Fundraising at an Indoor Racing Venue

Want to do Fundraising with a pure fun racing event?  Have a few closet NASCAR fans you want to invite?  There are both indoor and outdoor go-cart racing venues.  You can set-up a sponsored event and raise money for your charity or organization.  Now that you have decided on using a motorsports event to raise money here are ten steps to get started.

1. Give yourself plenty of lead time before holding your event.  You will need this time to plan, organize and promote your racing event. 

2. Define your fundraising mission statement. Sure, you want to raise money for a good cause, but your solicitation efforts need to be appealing to potential participants, donors, and sponsors.  Use the face paced nature of racing to entice your participants and sponsors.

3. Incorporate statistics, references to recent newspaper, magazine or web-based articles, quotes from interviews with persons who by their experience, studies, training, etc. are racing experts.

4. Keep in mind the nature of go-cart racing will have limitations for the participants.  Here is a typical rule set for a raceway. The minimum age to race at is 10 years old, and all racers must be at least 54” tall and ready to race with closed toe shoes.   They offer a wide variety of entertainment options for everyone to be able to enjoy themselves, these might include competitive indoor kart racing, rock wall climbing, billiards, video games and more.  Children under the age of 16 are required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

5. Promotion and advertising will determine the success of your racing event. Post flyers at the raceway participating in your organization’s fundraising efforts. Check with local racing leagues to see if they would be willing to spread the word and/or participate.  If this is a workplace event, utilize your internal communications.  Emails and posting in newsletters as well as bulletin boards.  Contact other organizations with similar or complementary missions to ask for their assistance and support. If possible tie in advertising with sponsors or vendors you are using to put on the event.

6. Let participants, sponsors and/or donors know whether their monetary gift is tax deductible. 

7. Allow participants, sponsors and donors to give either a fixed amount or a performance-based donation (i.e., number of laps completed or races won down times a set dollar amount); also provide them with the option to keep their name and the amount of their gift anonymous. 

8. If collecting online sponsorships and donations, send an immediate acknowledgment of receipt, as well thanking them for their support. For those who want to donate by other means, allow them to specify how they want to be contacted – by email or written correspondence, and make certain that you provide these with a acknowledgment and thanks upon receipt by the same means. 

9. Provide those collecting pledges with a specific deadline date to deliver collected funds, even if their efforts to collect are incomplete – design the pledge sheet so that name, address and email information is collected when funds are pledged so that your organization can complete the collection process efficiently. 

10. Most importantly, send everyone (racers, sponsors, donors) who participated in the fundraiser a thank you letter. Send a separate and different message to anyone who volunteered or provided a service for your event.  Most importantly, don’t forget the to thank the raceway.

Fundraising Bowling Events in 10 Steps

Bowling is a fun pastime.  Why not offer a bowling event for your next fundraiser.  They are a lot of work and require a lot planning and recruiting. Here are the top ten steps.

1. Give yourself plenty of lead time before holding the event.  You will need this time to plan, organize and promote your bowling event. 

2. Define your fundraising mission statement. Sure, you want to raise money for a good cause, but your solicitation efforts need to be appealing to potential participants, donors, and sponsors.

3. Incorporate statistics, references to recent newspaper, magazine or web-based articles, quotes from interviews with persons who by their experience, studies, training, etc. are experts. 

4. State your fundraising goal in simple terms. Be reasonable in setting a goal that is attainable; if the amount to be raised seems “astronomical”, you’re less likely to be able to attract participants, donors or vendors. If the amount of funding required to accomplish your mission is substantial, do not be afraid to state that fact in your appeal for support, but point out that whatever funds are raised through the bowling event will definitely further your organization’s efforts to realize its mission, and are appreciated. 

5. Promote, promote and promote some more! Post flyers in the bowling alley(s) participating in your organization’s fundraising efforts. Check with local bowling leagues to see if they would be willing to spread the word and/or participate.  If this is a workplace event, utilize your internal communications.  Emails and posting in newsletters as well as bulletin boards/  Contact other organizations with similar or complementary missions to ask for their assistance and support. 

6. Let participants, sponsors and/or donors know whether their monetary gift is tax deductible. 

7. Allow participants, sponsors and donors to give either a fixed amount or a performance-based donation (i.e., number of pins knocked down X a set dollar amount); also provide them with the option to keep their name and the amount of their gift anonymous. 

8. If collecting online sponsorships and donations, send an immediate acknowledgment of receipt, as well thanking them for their support. For those who want to donate by other means, allow them to specify how they want to be contacted – by email or written correspondence, and make certain that you provide these with a acknowledgment and thanks upon receipt by the same means. 

9. Provide those collecting pledges with a specific deadline date to deliver collected funds, even if their efforts to collect are incomplete – design the pledge sheet so that name, address and email information is collected when funds are pledged so that your organization can complete the collection process efficiently. 

10. Most importantly, send everyone (bowlers, sponsors, donors) who participated in the fundraiser a thank you letter. Send a separate and different message to anyone who volunteered or provided a service for your event.  Most importantly, don’t forget the bowling alley.

Think Local For Fundraising

Support your local area as you fund raise for your organization. Your prospective donors and buyers will appreciate you and your organization keeping all the funds working locally.

If you are just asking for donations you will have better results if you tie you booth location into local events.  These could be a local art or craft fair.  You could ask for booth space at a local Farmers Market or flower festival.

If you are buying something to resell to the public they will respond better if your sales items are made or grown in your local area.  Need an idea?  Do you have a local honey producer?  Work out a deal with them to sell the honey at a local event.  Ask them to sell to your organization, at least, at the wholesale price so you can make at least 40% on every jar sold.  You could even be brave and ask for them to donate a portion of the product you are selling at no charge.

So if you are selling Sunset Coupon Books here in Phoenix Arizona or fresh fruit in your local town, your buyer will appreciate the local connection.

Sunset Coupon Books are printed in Phoenix Arizona so that we support our local businesses while you raise funds locally.

Three Fundraising Tips for Youth Organizations

Make sure your fundraiser is approved by your organization.  Any fundraiser that is run by any group affiliated with your organization must have permission from the proper officers so they are aware of what is going on. Most schools for example need the principal and safety office to be notified of all fundraising activity. 

Parental involvement in fundraising is a must. From phone calls, to events, to social networking, parents will needed to be involved every step of the way. At no point should children take the lead in fundraising. They can be part of the process, but direct supervision by the parents is essential. 

Never allow children to carry collected money unless accompanied by an adult. Parents should be the ones to handle any funds collected and directly pass this along to the fundraiser in charge. The sale amount can determine whether the payments will be cash or checks for the most part.  In general all checks should be made payable to the organization.  Always keep collected funds in a secure location and pass along the funds to the organization as quickly as possible.

Five More Phoenix Fundraising Tips – Part Two!

Email Request: Send an email to everyone you know explaining what you are doing, giving as much information as possible and asking for their support. 

Sponsored Events: Shave your head, swim, run, walk, parachute, persuade a hairy male to get a body wax, be silent for a length of time… anything fun!

Holiday Parties: Christmas or any large holiday is a great time to organize events and let the goodwill of the holiday do the work for you!

Weird Tie Day: Instead of a casual Friday hold an office event that is a contest with the prize fund going to your charity or organization. Get people to wear weird ties (or whatever you can come up with) to work and either charge them, or charge others to vote on which is the strangest!

Ugliest Pet Contest: Try to tie with a local vet, groomer or pet food place.  Get a couple of sponsored prizes and then put up pictures of the pets and the winner gets the first prize and on down the line.  Each vote costs a set amount or a (minimum) donation.

Remember to plan ahead, try to get pledged money from people immediately, and don't be afraid to ask!

Five Phoenix Fundraising Tips – Part One!

Have a Bring a Dollar-A-Day to Work’ week: Ask your work co-workers to bring in $1 every day for a week.  That means you would have a $5 donation from everyone who participates. 

Make some noise.  Contact your local paper, radio stations and TV channels; many local reporters are always interested in a good human interest story, especially if your efforts are for a local and popular charity.

Guess The Number of Jelly Beans. Place six ‘Guess How Many Jelly Beans’ jars in local restaurants or watering holes and try to raise $50 per jar…. Your customer places their guess and a $1 donation in the box under the jar.  Winner gets jar of goodies and two coupons from the restaurant.  Six jars and $50 each means you could easily raise $300!

Night Ins: Donate the money you and your friends would have spent on a night out by having a “Night In” instead!

Quiz Night: Organize at your night spot, within your company or church.  Find someone to donate a few prizes, form teams of trivia buffs and use a Trivial Pursuit game (or write your own questions and make sure of your answers).  Charge each person or team to enter and play for the donated prizes.

Have some fun while Fundraising in Phoenix.

Fundraising Tips and Tricks – Baby Steps!

Many times people limit the dollar amount goal because it seems to be easy to raise a small amount of money and hard to raise a larger amount.  Part of that is out-and-out fear of failure.  OK, we all agree you can raise a smaller amount of money.  So break your big goal (your real goal) down into bite sized amounts.

Raising a large amount of money for your organization can seem frightening, but remember a positive attitude, some imagination and a healthy dose of determination, the money will come in.

This may remind you of an old saying.  The longest journey begins with a single step.  It is very true and relates directly to your fundraising efforts.  No matter the size of your goal it must start with that first dollar, five dollars or one hundred dollars you help raise.

You hear the words “baby steps” quite often.  It brings to mind those first hesitant steps.  Holding on to an object or person for support.  Could anything more accurately paint a picture of a person just starting out to raise funds for their charity or organization.  Most of all you need support.

You need to find an idea or method of fundraising that will help you down the road to meet your goal or goals.

You don’t have to raise it all at once or by yourself.  Let Sunset Coupon Books be one of those supports you reach out to.

Baby Steps… let us help you take your very first one.  We can start with a simple phone call.  602-279-0404

The Right Way To Fund Raise

It must be spring.  I saw some beautiful trees covered with brightly colored buds and as I leave grocery stores I hear that spring time sound “Wanna Buy Some Girl Scout Cookies?”

On Saturday I ran across a very bored looking youngish scout (around nine years of age I would guess).  She was leaning against the pillar of the stores exterior and had her scout vest pinned behind her with her hands.

She spoke so fast it sounded like “Wannabuysomegirlsscoutcookies?”  If I didn’t know what she was saying I would not have understood her at all.  She is not the first scout this year that has asked me to buy cookies and yes, I have bought boxes of Thin Mints and my real favorites Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies called Do-si-dos.

The very first ones I purchased, I mentioned to the young scout that I thought the packages were smaller this year.  While she didn’t answer me directly, I heard them speaking among themselves that they heard that before.  HMMMM

The real point is that the cookie sales are very important to Girl Scouts.  The sales raise hundreds of millions of dollars for Girl Scouting.  I would think the there would be some training in salesmanship that would help sell even more cookies.

The young scout from Saturday night broken every rule in the book of what makes an effective salesperson.  She invested her time and was trying to do her “job”.   Which simply put, is to fund raise for the Girl Scouts.  She wasn’t trained in how best to spend her time.

Her posture was wrong.  The way she was standing (leaning) physically hid her uniform that would help her presentation. She “blurted” out her message so she wasn’t effectively communicating the sales pitch (yes, it is a sales pitch).  Her message was a question that could be and was politely responded to with a “No Thank You”.

The other day I mentioned that Sales 101 was Never Ask A Question That Can Be Answered With A NO!

After many years of fundraising with Cookies, the Girl Scouts should spend a little more time on simple and proper salesmanship.  Their major fundraiser would be at least 10 to 20 percent more successful.

How about “We Have New Cookies This Year, Come and See Them!”  “Do you want Two boxes of Thin Mints or just One!”

Never Ask A Question That Can Be Answered By “No!”

When you are selling you have several opportunities to make the sale.  In the introduction, in the message body and in the closing.

In each of those three areas never ask the prospect a question that can be answered by the word “No”.
I think some examples may be best to show what good salesmanship is like.

As your prospect approaches you your first question might be, “Would you like to buy a Sunset Coupon Book?”

Two mistakes here one you have asked a prospect a question that can be simply answered “No!”.  The second mistake is the prospect is as yet uninformed as to why the might even want to buy your Sunset Coupon Book.

Truly, Step One with your prospect is to get their attention.  Once that is done you need to educate your prospect as to why they Need to purchase a Coupon Book.  Think introduction and message.  Then to seal the deal you need to “Close the Deal”.  

You need to ask for the order.  If you have gotten the prospect’s attention and delivered your valuable sales message, “The Sunset Coupon Books will Save them Money AND Help out your Organization.  The final and most important step is to ask the prospect to become a customer.

If the close is, “Do you want to buy?”  The customer can simply say, No!.  At that point all of your time is wasted.  

A much better close is “Do you want two books or just one today?”  Now the suggestion has been planted.  The answer now can be either one or two books sold.

You could also close by saying, “Most people have decided to buy two today so they could save even more money later.”  It is not really a question.  Once said … Wait for your prospect to answer.

Remember Selling 101 … Never ask a question that can be answered with a “NO!”

Always Have A Donation Box

When ever you are on location selling Sunset Coupon Books or any other type of fundraiser one very important addition to have is a “Donation Box”.

Yes, even on location selling items to raise funds it is a very good idea to include a Donation Box!

Why, you ask if you are selling items do you need a donation box?  There is a very simple answer, because some people will buy your item and, if there is a donation box, they will also make a donation.  I think I can hear your thoughts.  But, I assure this will happen, a purchase and a donation.

Even more probable is a person who doesn’t want to make a purchase but, will go ahead and make a donation.

The most important two items about the donation box is “eye-catching” and “prominent location” on your table or sales area.  You must make your donation box stand out.  The donation box must scream out “look-at-me”.

If you have an eye-catching poster that tells the story of your fundraiser’s goal then put the donation box right next to or in front of the poster.

It goes without saying you need to keep an eye on your donation box.

The World Loves A Winner

Every time you can you want to tie your fundraiser to a need and then support that need with a story you can that shows positive results.  You can tell the story to people who stop and seem interested in your Sunset Coupon Books and the location you are selling from.

Better than telling your success story you can always support your story with a photo album showing your group doing events, working with your organization or your target group.  If you have been recognized in the media have press clippings, photos, videos or sounds bites from radio interviews.

A small laptop computer can be used to allow you to playback video and audio recordings on location.  If you have trouble with sun glare on your computer screen a simple medium sized cardboard box can become a small booth to set your computer in and then the screen will be shielded from the sun’s glare.  You may need to add a battery powered external speaker to the computer to make your video and audio playback loud enough to be heard in a noisy outdoor environment.

Many times you will be given awards for different types of your activities.  Have your awards, plaques and trophies prominently displayed so people can see all of your hard work and winning results.

Remember the better story you tell about your fundraising, the more money you will earn.

Five Fun Fundraising Ideas

1. Selling Kisses – We did this one a few years back, and it was a big hit. The team members’ favorite (or least favorite) coaches are persuaded to join in. Jars with each coaches name are placed in a prominent location at the sports field. Which ever coach has received the most money by a given date gets to select the coach to man the Kissing Both at the next event. This is a fun fundraiser that kids, parents and coaches will enjoy.

2. Singing Telegrams – This fun fundraiser idea is great for school or church choirs. Buyers select the song, recipient and any special message. Singers visit the recipient in their homes or businesses to sing the telegram. This one is great for Valentines Day.

3. Goofy Olympics – Pick fun and silly games for an “Olympics” day. Participants pay an entry fee per game or for the whole day. Prizes (donated) are given to winners of each contest or game. Combine this program with food booths for more fun and profits.

4. Pie and cake auctions – The cooks and the sweet lovers in your group will enjoy this fun fundraiser idea! Ask for donations of cakes and pies. Label each dessert with the name of the dessert and the cook. You might even want to include the recipe with the time. Ask your most humorous and charismatic person to be the auctioneer who can entertain the crowd and boost the auction prices.

5. Casino Night – Putting together a charity fundraising event like a Casino Night Fundraiser can be a lot of work unless you're well organized. Events like these often include live entertainment, a catered dinner, live and silent auctions, sponsorships, ticket sales, tax deductible donations, and a host of other details that require plenty of advance planning.

The plus side is that a Casino Night is a great excuse for adults to get all dressed up and have a fun time, so turnouts are impressive. There are lots of charitable groups who need to raise large amounts of operating funds and these events really deliver if done well.

Of course you can save time and hassle buy using Sunset Coupon Books for your next fundraiser.

1 – 2 – 3 Fundraising

Here is a simple three step list of things to do when you start fundraising for your organization.

First Create a List

Create a list of friends, family, co-workers, church members, business contacts, exercise buddies, hobby contacts and people you meet at the dog park.

Work creatively on your list. Do you have neighbors, doctors, your local mechanic, anyone you know that might support your cause or charity?

Remember, it never hurt to asks.  Try to build the biggest list you can by including everyone you can think of!  Yes, it does sound a little like AmWay.

Make Your Appeal Personal

People will donate because you are asking them to.  First, you must ask, It is as simple as that.  Does your cause relate to you or the person you are approaching. If it does not, make it relate to one of you.

They will like you and respect the fact that you’re supporting a great cause.

Make It  Face To Face

When you’re fundraising make it a point to ask the friends and family you see on a regular basis to support you by donating.

Dinner parties, soccer games, church, family reunions, etc. They are all great opportunities to make in person asks.

Remember, it’s difficult for people to say “no” if you speak with them in person.

It can make it very easy to have an additional item to put in your quiver of approaches.  If you get a no on a donation, you can always pull out a Sunset Coupons Book and now they get a bonus for a simple “$10” donation.  No pressure and just a $10 amount allows them to still feel good about the support of your cause.
