Here in the Phoenix Metro Area, also called the Valley of the Sun, we are just starting into Spring. In the Salt Lake City Area springs is still weeks or even a month away.
Spring may not have sprung where you live, but your event planning probably has. Wondering how you are going to pull it all together without falling apart? Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your resources and plan an event that puts fun back in fundraising.
Mobilize your donors and event participants to fundraise for you. Year after year the number of donations that are the result of a friend’s request has risen substantially resulting in many events exceeding their fundraising goals.
How about a star-studded twist on the standard auction fundraiser? The members of your group could compile a list of all the stars they want to contact and locate their mailing addresses on the internet. You would want to craft a friendly but professional letter to forward to their attention indicating your fundraising effort and what group it is for. You then want to ask if they will send you something they autograph. The item could range from pictures, clothing, books, tapes, CDs, sports items, etc. You may also want to consider contacting your "local stars" such as newscasters, tv personalities, weather forecasters and so on. Then have an auction for the donated, autographed items.
Or consider offering 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. The savings enjoyed from using just one or two coupons will pay for the book. And who doesn’t need to save money these days?

Paul Ichiro Terasaki, born September 10, 1929, is a noted scientist in the field of human organ transplant technology and Professor Emeritus of Surgery at UCLA School of Medicine.
Born in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles, Mr. Terasaki was 12 when his family, like many Japanese-Americans in the 1940s, was forced by the federal government to live in an internment camp during World War II. After the war ended, the family moved from the Gila River camp, in Arizona, to Chicago, but eventually returned to Southern California in 1948. Later he earned his doctorate in zoology at UCLA and was appointed to the medical school faculty.
In 1964, Terasaki developed the microcytotoxicity test, a tissue-typing test for organ transplant donors and recipients that required only 1 microliter each of antisera used to identify human leukocyte antigens (HLA). The test was adopted as the international standard for tissue typing. He has focused on study of the humoral theory of transplant rejection, which states that antibodies cause allograft rejection. He and his corporation, One Lambda, have played a central role in the development of tissue typing and transplantation surgery.
Terasaki established UCLA's HLA laboratory, and also established the UCLA Kidney Transplant Registry, the largest in the world. In 1999, he retired from UCLA, but within a year resumed his academic pursuits with the creation of the Terasaki Foundation, a research center dedicated to cancer immunotherapy and the study of humoral immunity and transplantation.
On May 13, 2010, UCLA announced the naming of the new life science building for Terasaki, who has given $50 million to the Division of Life Sciences in the UCLA College of Letters and Science, which is the largest ever given to the UCLA College. The structure is known as the Terasaki Life Sciences Building. He was awarded the 2011 UCLA Edward A. Dickson Alumnus of the Year award on April 13, 2012 and the UCLA medal on June 15, 2012.
Paul Terasaki is married to artist Hisako Terasaki; they have four children.

Do you start to change the shade of green in your work wear as March 17th approaches?
Well, despite all of the festive clichés, St. Patrick's Day is, undoubtedly, a great day to host a fundraiser. Why? Well because half the work is already done for you, the theme is already set for you, the traditional games are decided!
Now all you have to do is provide a suitable event that will pay adequate tribute to the festive reputation of Patrick, Ireland's patron saint. But first, those on this side of the pond might want to know why the Irish celebrate St. Patrick’s Day to begin with.
According to legend, Saint Patrick is honored because he brought Christianity to Ireland. He is often pictured holding a shamrock, a symbol sacred to the Druids (the prime pagan religion of Ireland at the time). He used this symbol to explain the holy trinity using the three leaves, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the divine beings of the Christian religion.
So this is the story behind why, every March 17th, scores of folks don their green apparel and toast with green pints, a date that lends itself to the perfect charity event.
You won’t have to convince people to come out to a St. Patrick's Day shindig. You bet they are already planning a good time well before the date. But the key is to get your plans rolling early enough to entice lucky guests to your perfect event to honor your charity and St. Patrick.
Let’s start with some ideas for kids. These are perfect for school or youth group events.
Pop the Green Balloon for a Prize
Fill green balloons with lucky messages, but put a gift certificate in one lucky poppers balloon. Buyers can pay $1 for their chance to pop a balloon.
Grab the Four-leaf Clover
Who will be lucky enough to pick the four-leaf clover from the box of standard three-leaf varieties? Take the time to cut out a bunch of not-so-lucky shamrocks, but make sure to craft one lucky one with four. Buyers can pay $1 and try their luck at the draw.
Kiss the Blarney Stone
Set up a spot for people to kiss the stone and make a wish (for a donation of course). This game acts much like a wishing well.
Count the Lucky Clovers
Fill a jar with candy four-leaf clovers and put it on display in a prominent area in your school or youth group facility. Every chance to guess costs 50 cents or $1. The person who is closest wins a donated prize (gift certificates, a pizza lunch or a CD or DVD are great prize gifts).

Everyday we hear about another auction, event luncheon, or social event dinner. Many people have attended countless golf tournaments and house parties. Those of you that work with schools have probably had more than your fair share of chocolate bars and bake sale treats. How many pancake breakfasts have you done for your church?
Perhaps the question should be, Do you need a new idea to effectively raise funds for your fundraising group?
There are literally hundreds and hundreds of events and ways to raise funds for your organization. The most important thing to do is to pick one and then “Just Do It.”
In fact you may want to choose several different ideas and then do each one to see what works best for your group.
Ensuring that your event is fun, profitable, and not overly taxing on your group is no easy task. Always approach your events with the same methodology used for capital campaigns or strategic planning: with ample time, (and most importantly) realistic goals, and a clear sense of the desired outcome. Anyone who has planned an event knows they are like home renovations, they seem to cost twice as much and take twice as long as you expect.
Many small nonprofits fall into the trap of poor budgeting, investing time and money, only to break even or incur a loss at the end of an event. Keep to a budget that is realistic, detailed, and carefully managed. Budget control is one of the best tools in your toolbox.
Envision all aspects of your event, account for every component that has a cost associated with it, and think through how you're going to raise money and what's realistic. Identify items and services you need to get donated, but be very conservative with your in-kind donation estimates.
When considering the amount of income from an event try cutting your expectations in half and then look at that in comparison to your expenses and see what you would change if that were to happen.

Using the words you find most comfortable, present your appeal.
Person’s Name ... I would like you to consider a gift (or donation) of just $30 to our youth sports organization ___________. That will help those children whose parents can’t afford uniforms this year. The words, "I would like you to consider," are the ones you may find most appropriate.
Pause.
There you have asked for the donation. That wasn't so difficult after all.
Follow that simple example. Make the ask, and for a set amount. Don't fill in the silence. No matter how long it may seem, wait. The first one who speaks is at a disadvantage! So just pause ... for what seems eternity. They will respond with a yes or no.
If that answer is yes, then get the details of the donation. If the answer is a no …
No, I don't think so, or. I don't think I can give that much, not at this time.
Continue the conversation.
Well, then tell me, (person’s name), did I ask for too much? I need to know. I honestly felt that based on your identification with our program and your past support, $30 was just about the amount you'd want to give to a youth program this important. Am I correct? That's about the amount you would want to give, isn't it?
They respond: No, you are correct, that's just about the amount I'd like to give to a project like this.
And now, my final question.
Is it the timing, (name)? Is the timing off? You've indicated your enthusiasm and excitement for our youth team, and said the amount was what you'd want to give. Is the timing a problem?
You are right, they respond. And then they go on to explain how it would be impossible to make a gift, even a small one, at this time. They are committed to a few other projects that there simply aren't funds available.
Find out when would be a good time to reconnect with the potential donor and make sure you do.
