Your Basic Fundraising Steps

The most important consideration in fundraising is to choose the right fundraiser for your school or group.  Take your time.  Choosing the right fundraiser allows for financial goals to be reached while making parents happy.

Finding the right fundraising company can be intimidating. Talk to other people, talk to several companies and get multiple offers in writing up-front before deciding. Research your options on the Internet, request information, make calls and check with the Better Business Bureau!

Not all fundraising products are created equal.  Choose only quality products that add value!  Don't try to peddle fundraising items that are no quality. Present yourself with pride and respect and your customers will appreciate it.

Don’t stretch yourself too thin with smaller fundraisers with low profit margins.  The best way to hit a fundraising goal is to have one main fundraiser and put all your effort behind it.  In preparation of this heavy-hitting fundraiser, downplay the fundraisers that won't make  a big impact on the group.

When you are ready, make a list of the items you will focus on.  Put the items with the most impact efforts at the top of the list.  When the time comes to get the fundraiser underway, focus your efforts towards creating fundraising success!  Don't let anything distract you from holding one successful fundraiser per semester.

The community will rally around a school if they know the school needs help.  They do not have to have children going to the school, they just need to know that their local community needs their help.  If there is a way to get the point across that they are needed, they will step up and help.  Society is built on giving and support for others, so get out there into the community and let them know you need their help!

Don’t catch your school by surprise and cause a lot of undue stress. Get people excited about the fundraiser months before the actual fundraiser. Let everyone know when the fundraiser takes place,  what is expected and when to turn in materials.  There is no substitute for getting the word out on the fundraiser!  Use morning announcements, email, printed newsletters, signs & banners, reminder notices, etc. to communicate.
