Fund Raising Made Easy - Part 1 - Know The Basics
Whether it is the bane of your organization, the reason for your professional career or somewhere in between, fundraising has become a very necessary part of our daily lives. Think about it. The kids come home from primary school with their latest fundraising flyer because the PTA needs funds for various school necessities that our tax dollars can't or don't cover, the band is trying to raise money for their next trip, the scouts are selling cookies or first aid kits for summer camp, the church needs funds for a new addition, organ, robes, missions, etc. The fire department needs a new truck or rescue vehicle, the Chamber needs decorations for Christmas light-up night, the Historical society for a new building or artifact that needs preservation, etc. The list can go on and on. Everyone is clamoring for, what seems like, far fewer donation dollars.
Although it appears there are fewer dollars being donated, there are actually more donations being made today than ever before. With the U.S. increase in population there are however, more organizations going after those donations than ever before as well. What you will need to do is give that larger population a reason to donate to YOUR organization over the other groups scrambling for their attention. The purpose of this article is not to cure everyone's needs, but to give those seeking a more effective method, some tools that they can use right away. This specialized knowledge that I will give you, if you are willing to accept it, is based on my nearly thirty five years of experience in raising many millions of dollars for organizations of all types from coast to coast.
Warning - You will probably not like everything you are told to do here. There are indeed many ways to quickly and easily raise many thousands of dollars. However, success ultimately requires effort. Your reward should be equal to or greater than the effort put forth. This article is designed to help you obtain the best possible return for your efforts.
These Article is not designed to be the answer to all your fund raising questions. They were created to give you an easy to use "intro guide" for setting up and conducting successful product/merchandise fund raising campaigns. What I have tried to do is get you thinking about the very basics of conducting a well run, profitable, project.
