Fundraising Secrets

It is true that no campaign, charity, or non-profit organization can survive without fundraising. Fundraising is the lifeblood of your effort. Without money, you can't get your message out, do charitable work or even win elections.

Volunteer organizations are always in need of committed individuals and resourceful solutions. With so many nonprofit groups competing for the same few dollars, your group can benefit from the counsel of Sunset Coupon Books fundraising. Whether it’s a bake sale, ball club or anything in between.

Start planning your fundraiser at least 1 month in advance. Select your fundraiser early to assure ample time to execute it successfully. Schedule fundraisers to avoid competing with other groups. Order fundraising materials early to avoid rushed shipments, delays and to avoid sold out merchandise.

Stay focused on 2-3 great fundraisers per year instead unlimited, ongoing fundraisers. Kids and parents will both participate more if they know this is the only fundraiser for the season. If they think another fundraiser will come along any day, they will toss the current fundraiser to the side and wait for the next one. Two or three strong fundraisers will yield more funds than several poor ones.

Delegate to lighten the load. Assign jobs to each volunteer. Communicate before during and after the sale. The more volunteers you have, the easier, smoother and more successful your fundraiser will be.

Send home a letter of information to each parent explaining the fundraiser. 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.

In a startup nonprofit, the founding team is responsible for setting an example. This team should be the first to donate to the organization so that others will follow their lead. The amount doesn’t matter; full team participation matters more.
