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.
