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.
