Fundraising For Your Community

Should your group participate in “other” community fundraising events and programs?  After all aren’t you fully committed to raising funds for just your group?

It doesn’t matter what type of non-profit, school, sports team, church or community group you represent it is always better to be seen being part of your community than just a stand alone group.

People will remember your group helping other groups raise money for their cause.  When it comes time for your group to raise “their” funds it will be much easier for people to help you.  It could mean that their purchases or donations will even be a greater dollar amount.  Some people have been known to call this fundraising karma.

Your higher profile as a group that supports community fundraisers can even make it easier to find corporate partners to help you with your upcoming fundraising events.  If you are looking for a location to hold sales or donations events this can be a real door-opener.  Having a corporate partner can open your group up to both their employees and their customers.

Here is just one example of that synergy in action. Mark Michalak is owner of Jersey Mike’s Subs in Lake in the Hills and Crystal Lake (Chicago suburbs). Jersey Mike’s likes to partner with local organizations to hold fundraisers. And through these fundraisers they've raised thousands of dollars for local sports teams, local schools and local organizations.  In 2012, they gave more than $20,000 to community organizations.

Your group working with others in your community will bring much needed public relations and press coverage to your group that can be used as part of the “story” that your group can use for your own fundraising credibility.

This can be the first big step your group takes in asking the community to support your projects financially, and the fantastic amount of money that can be raised demonstrates just how passionate local people are about seeing your group succeed. In the coming weeks and months.  You can then build on this momentum and launch a series of high profile community fundraising initiatives that will complement your overall financial strategy which also includes a complex mix of public and private financial backing.
