Fundraise Effectively
for a Small Organization
Whether it's selling pizzas, throwing a black-tie event, or organizing a car wash, there are thousands of fundraising opportunities for your small club or organization. Choose your fundraisers carefully, and plan everything to the last detail. Above all, have fun!
Instructions
1. Gather pamphlets from local companies offering fundraising programs. Read them carefully, and compare profit rates. Consider other costs (location costs, food for workers, advertising costs etc.) associated with these fundraisers.
2. Consider the product or service being offered. Is it something that everyone needs or likes? Is it easy to sell? Does it provide a valuable service?
3. Call other clubs and organizations that have held these particular fundraisers in the past. Get the scoop on how it went. Word-of-mouth advice will save you time and money.
4. Hold a brainstorming session with your club or organization leaders. Put your heads together and come up with some original fundraising ideas.
5. Choose a fundraiser from your expanding list of existing and original ideas. Pick one that's profitable and fun.
6. Plan the fundraiser to the last detail.
7. Advertise! Advertise! Advertise! You can't make money without getting the word out.
8. Have your fundraiser, and enjoy your profits!
