In many communities, school fundraisers are necessary to supplement budget shortfalls and support a wide array of school programs. Fundraisers make impossible or marginalized programs possible. But in some cases, the volume of fundraising is starting to take its toll on the students who are selling, the PTA and teachers who are organizing, and the parents and family members who are buying. Fundraising fatigue is a common occurrence in school communities today.
Below are some tips on how to avoid fundraising fatigue:
Limit the number of fundraisers. Many schools that do not regulate their fundraising activity run into the problem of over-fundraising. Too many groups selling to the same audience and tapping into the same volunteer pool. This drains school resources and is counter-productive. Schools should have only one school-wide fundraiser each semester. The principal should implement a strict approval process by which he or she decides what fundraisers are allowed.
Set firm goals and deadlines. Fundraisers are effective only if they have firm financial goals and designated start and end dates. Enthusiastic participants and supporters are key ingredients to successful fundraisers. If you have never-ending fundraisers, you will lose the initial enthusiasm and burnout will occur. As with most things in life, there must be a sense of closure. Fundraisers are no different.
Avoid competing with neighboring schools. Fundraising is hard enough and the last thing you want is to sell the same products as the school down the street. Always know what other communities are doing for their fundraisers and make sure your fundraiser is unique.
Rotate volunteers. Parents and teachers should not be responsible for more than one fundraiser a year. Their time is too valuable to get caught up in organizing multiple fundraisers. Line up a healthy reserve of volunteers at the beginning of the school year and rotate their fundraising volunteer activities.
Most importantly, never lose sight of the school's purpose. Students are there to learn, teachers are there to teach, and parents are there to support the overall education process. Fundraising should never detract from these core principles.

Sometimes in life things just don’t go the way you planned. This is especially true with fundraisers. The logistics of organizing a fundraiser can be overwhelming to most. Coupled with the fact that most fundraising organizers are volunteers, so they are taking on the fundraising responsibilities on top of their everyday life routine. And most have little prior experience with fundraisers so they are learning on the fly. Below are some common pitfalls that fundraising organizers encounter.
Lack of Planning. Planning for the fundraiser needs to start well in advanced. From selecting the fundraiser, to coordinating the logistics, to lining up volunteers, to executing the fundraiser, the details are numerous. A fundraising check list or outline will help your cause. Make a list of every task that needs to get done and assign volunteers in your group for each task. You must delegate! Do not take on everything by yourself. You will eventually burnout and the fundraiser will suffer. Make a plan and stick with it.
No support. We’ve seen this occur many times. Well intentioned groups, such as the PTA, will plan a fundraiser, but the school community (principals, teachers, administrators, etc.) doesn’t share the same enthusiasm. For a fundraiser to be successful, you must have the support of your community. Get leaders on board early and develop a plan together. There’s always a bit of politics involved, but you’ll see the results if you get the support from the entire community.
Poor Communication. Lack of communication within your group as well as outside your group will always cause issues. You must be on the same page with your group and everyone must be aware of the fundraising game plan. Weekly email updates and an active Facebook page can help your cause. Be vocal at your group meeting and events to make sure everyone is aware of the plan. Also, make sure you are aware of the other fundraisers going on in your community so there are no conflicts.
Little to no promotion. This goes without saying, but you must successfully promote your fundraiser. Some groups think fundraisers will run themselves and the community support will be automatic. That assumption has been the downfall of many fundraisers. This is not the case for most groups. Make sure you get the word out! Parent letters, posters, emails, social networking, and information tables at events and so on.

So you fundraiser is up and running. Now what? Now it’s time to promote, promote, promote! You need to do what you can to get the word out to your community about your fundraiser. It’s great to promote your fundraiser throughout the school or group, but you also must think bigger. You should develop a plan to promote your fundraiser to your entire community, and even surrounding communities. If your cause is worthwhile, people will want to support it. The most effective way to reach a wider audience is through your local media. Below are some tips on how to utilize the media in helping promote your fundraiser.
Write a press release about your fundraiser. The local media wants to know what’s going on in their area. Sometimes they would be willing to do feature stories on fundraising, other times they will just list announcements. Either way, get your fundraiser mentioned in the press. A press release is a good way to announce your fundraiser to the media.
Develop a media pitch for your fundraiser. What is the reason your group is doing a fundraiser? Why should the community support your cause? These are the questions the press will have for you. You will need to create a media pitch that clearly states the mission statement of your group’s fundraiser and be able to communicate your message clearly.
Identify the local newspapers and the reporters who cover the education or social beat. Your groups should appoint a media liaison position. This person will be responsible for developing a media list and make contact with the appropriate contacts. Some areas have one newspaper, others have multiple options. Most newspapers have reporter assigned to cover the education beat or social events. Identify the right contacts and remain in contact with them throughout the year.
Think beyond newspapers. It may be a long shot, but contact the local TV and radio stations in your area. You never know what may peak the media’s interest. We’ve worked with many schools who got local TV or radio coverage for their fundraisers. Also, many newspapers, TV and radio work with local bloggers. Try to identify and contact these bloggers as well. Many of them cover local stories and may have an interest in writing about your fundraiser. The worst they can do is say no.

Utah industrialist Jon Huntsman Sr., who has donated more than $1.2 billion over the years, is featured in Forbes magazine as one of 19 out of 1,000 of the world's billionaires who have given more than a billion dollars to worthy causes.
His giving began long before Microsoft's Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffet earlier this year pledged to give away at least half of their multibillion-dollar fortunes.
Huntsman, founder of global chemical manufacturer and marketer Huntsman Corp., then took that announcement a step further, according to Forbes.
"His take was that his peers need to step up," the article, published on Monday, said. It quoted Huntsman: " It becomes a game to see how much you can accumulate. They [captains of industry] never have the joy of seeing the thankful tears of a cancer patient or seeing a kid go to college."
Huntsman's major giving goes back as far as 1992, when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. En route to the hospital, he left a $1 million check at a homeless shelter. Another $1 million check went to a soup kitchen, followed by $500,000 to the clinic that found the malignancy.
Ultimately he created a cancer foundation, pouring in more than $1 billion. The Huntsman Cancer Institute, based at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center, grew out of that.
Forbes writes that his donations last year "knocked him off the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest individuals — his net worth listed in Monday's article was less than $1 billion, at $900 million - "but a run-up in his company stock should put his net worth near $1 billion again this year."
"He says he plans to give it all away before he dies," the article said.
Huntsman's philosophy, according to Forbes: "The time to give away money is when you make it. "
In 2001, Huntsman was presented the Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In 2003, he received the Humanitarian of the Year Award. In November 2008, the American Cancer Society presented him its Medal of Honor for Cancer Philanthropy.
Other notable causes include: Sigma Chi; his support of The Wharton School, in recognition of which one of the school's signature buildings, Huntsman Hall, was named in his honor and he serves as Chairman of the Wharton Board of Overseers; the University of Utah, which named its special events arena after him; a new law library at Brigham Young University, which at his request was named after Howard W. Hunter; notable family philanthropy in earthquake ravaged Armenia and a new library at Southern Utah University, which he also requested be named after someone else (retiring SUU President Gerald R. Sherratt).
Huntsman authored and published the book Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten) in 2005, published by Wharton School Publishing. In the book, Huntsman conveys moral lessons drawn from his life experience. The second edition, titled Winners Never Cheat: Even in Difficult Times, made the Wall Street Journal's best-sellers list.
