With blizzard Nemo fresh in our minds and another cold snap here in the Southwest we know that you are still needing to raise funds for your group.
Is raising funds in the Southwest different in the winter?
Winter fundraising ideas can be influenced by seasonal considerations such as weather conditions and the holiday season. For example, you can raise money for your group or organization by sponsoring an extreme outdoor adventure or by selling things that are related to the cold weather or the holidays.
Hold a Polar Bear Dip. If you are near a body of water, consider sponsoring a polar bear dip, in which participants jump into ice-cold water. Charge an entry fee to participate in your polar bear dip fundraiser. You also can ask participants to collect pledges for each second or minute that they remain in the water. Allow only adults to participate in the polar bear dip, and ask participants to sign a waiver form that releases your organization of liability related to their dip in the water. Serve hot refreshments such as hot chocolate, tea, coffee, soup and chili, and provide towels and warming space in a heated tent or trailer, if possible.
Use Sunset Coupon Books. Easily raise money for your School, Sports Team, Youth Group, Church or Non-profit. Sunset Coupon Books contain hundreds of dollars in savings from local merchants.

Top Philanthropic Donors: Ming Hsieh
Ming Hsieh, born in 1955, is a billionaire American entrepreneur and philanthropist and the founder of Cogent Systems in 1990. According to Forbes magazine, his estimated net worth exceeds $1.6 billion, ranking him the 198th richest person in America and 562nd among The World's Richest People In 2006.
Born to Baoyan and Sun Hsieh, Ming Hsieh's family originated in Canton, he was raised in Shenyang, the capital city of Liaoning province in Northeast China. His family was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution as a part of China's upper middle class having ties with the old national government moved to Taiwan; as a result, his family was forced to move in 1966 to a small village near Panjin. At age 10, Hsieh's formal education stopped for the next ten years. During that period, Hsieh learned the trade of electrical engineering from his formally trained father as they built a crude power system for the village they were assigned to and did odd repair work.
Hsieh's uncle, P.Y. Hsieh, had left China and earned a Master of Science in mechanical engineering from the University of Southern California in 1952 before working for TRW. Knowing of this, Hsieh decided to follow his uncle and, after two years at the South China Institute of Technology in Guangzhou and with an inheritance from his grandparents in Taiwan, he transferred to USC's engineering program at age 24. Hsieh earned his Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering from USC in 1983 and MSEE in 1984. His parents wanted him to continue and earn a Ph.D., but Hsieh decided to first work a few years.
A naturalized U.S. citizen, Hsieh is married with two children. He lives in Beverly Hills and has additional houses in Pasadena, San Francisco, and San Marino, California.
Hsieh began work as a circuit designer for International Rectifier. After two and a half years, he decided to start his own business. He founded Cogent Systems Inc. which offered fully automated, high-speed biometric fingerprint system. The company began receiving numerous government contracts and now includes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Prisons, FBI and Royal Canadian Mounted Police amongst its customers.
In October 2006, Hsieh donated $35 million to USC's Viterbi School of Engineering's Department of Electrical Engineering, 100 years after the department and school's founding. In honor of his donation, the department was renamed the USC Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering. In October 2010, Hsieh donated $50 million to USC for cancer research. He is on the USC Board of Trustees.

Hold A Marathon Event
Does your group want to raise community awareness and get a good dose of press coverage and positive public relations.
It is easy to do if your group creates and holds some type of marathon event. If your group is musically related group you could arrange to perform for 48 hours uninterrupted over a weekend at a local venue or shopping center that has stores that are open 24 hours straight. Rather than asking a person or small group to perform the event alone, you can rotate through two or four hour shifts.
Doing a marathon event with rotating participants won’t get your group into the Guinness World Records it can bring you great local press coverage.
With a sports team you can perform stick and / or ball tricks for the extended time period. A high school ROTC group could use their drill team to perform demonstrations.
For other groups where performance or demonstration doesn’t work you could consider doing a bowl-a-thon or some other type of event.
Part of the community aspect can be that donors could be given a choice to donate to your group and / or another local charity. If you are using this event to sell items for your group you could also give all or part of your profit to a local charity.
The aspect of your group doing a donation as part of your fundraising is what will be the key to getting local press coverage.
If your group is local to the Phoenix metro area, Tucson Arizona or Salt Lake City you sales can be Sunset Coupon Books that are custom made just for your group.
If you are looking for a fast and easy way to build up local offline cash flow for your group? Please take a look at the help you can get from Sunset Coupon Books. They offer 100% match of dollars to your organizations efforts. Give us a call and find out more. 800-627-6340

Fundraising Magic
No, we aren’t talking about doing a Magic Show and raising funds from the ticket sales. What we are talking about is the magic that makes “things” fundraising or otherwise work.
What is the Magic that makes “things” work? It is very simple! The magic of making things happen is the “DOING”. Yes, that is right it is the “actual doing” of the “thing.”
The magic is the doing, rather than planning and the preparation.
What most groups are looking for is the Magic Bullet: that one thing that would (without too much work) raise every penny they needed. And, minus the parenthetical wish, I actually had the answer. I really do know a magic bullet for fundraising. Ready?
Do something. Do anything. But do it consistently. If it isn’t working, don’t stop doing it, assess why it isn’t working. What needs to be changed? Then change that. If it is working, ask what else can we do and then (yes, you’ve got it) do that also.
Too often fundraising is something that no one actually gets to. It is discussed. Classes are taken; consultants hired; meetings with other organizations set up so that you can learn their secrets. But getting to it?
As someone said in a slightly different context: they are planning to plan to create a development plan that will somehow raise money.
Some people spend a better part of their lifetime planning for that once in a lifetime vacation. They read and study all about the destination. They get brochures and dream about what it will be like going to that country, meeting the people, eating the food and sightseeing. But, then somehow they never seem to get around to the actual doing… the actual vacation.
Are you treating your fundraising in the same way? Are you getting ready and never actually doing the fundraising?
