That means you need to tell a good story about your group and your group’s goals. The content needs to be supported by photographs as well.
In times of financial shortfalls, it is your grassroots base or donors that can turn on a dime to help narrow the financial gap or gaps in needed funds. Keep in mind that foundations and corporations often need months or even years to be cultivated, and most gifts come in on an annual basis and cannot respond to short-term need.
Money raised from the grassroots, which comes in as unrestricted funds, allows the creativity and flexibility to turn on a dime in times of economic or physical crisis. Unrestricted funds also allow to maintain our independence to work on the issues and strategic projects that we feel will have the most impact in.
Fundraising pushes us to be able to clearly articulate our values and why we personally invest in the work with our time and our money being the basis for success in dollar amount.
There is no doubt that fundraising is hard work — but there is nothing more satisfying than sharing deeply with others about this work and knowing that each dollar raised will help to ensure we are laying one more brick in the foundation of the end of poverty.
Once you have set your fundraising goals, decide which steps you and your group are willing to do to begin your fundraising campaign. Will you be asking for donations, selling products, doing community projects, looking for a sponsor or filling out grants? Do you know family or friends who are willing to donate for your trip? It never hurts to ask in a polite way.
