1 |
Decide how Much Money Your Group Needs
To Raise
This will help you evaluate products
and programs that will be ideal for your group.
With Im4Fundraising you only
need to set the minimum limit for each of the participants.
|
2 |
Watch For Hidden Costs
Don't let your group's profits disappear
because of hidden costs (ex. shipping, prizes).
With Im4Fundraising there are
no hidden costs. |
3 |
Give Yourself And Your Group Lots Of
Time To Prepare
Select your fundraising program
early. This will give you lots of time to plan. Include
your fundraiser on the school or community calendars
and newsletters.
With Im4Fundraising you do
not need a lot of lead time. |
4 |
Timing
Make sure to stagger the various fundraisers
to avoid flooding your potential consumers and to avoid
competing with other fundraisers.
With Im4Fundraising you might
not need to do any other fundraisers. |
5 |
Set Up Specific Dates And Stick To Them
If you avoid setting clear target
dates the campaign tends to drag on
and often without direction.
With Im4Fundraising there is
no dragging on. |
6 |
Try To Conduct Fewer And More Effective
Programs
This will help maintain motivation and avoid
"fundraising fatigue".
With Im4Fundraising this is easily
accomplished. |
7 |
Rely On Your Fundraising Company's Expertise
Ask lots of questions and use
your fundraising company's suggestions and advice.
With Im4Fundraising we are
available 24/7. |
8 |
Stay Motivated Throughout The Program
Some organizers tend to lose interest once
the program is underway. Put a 10-12 day time limit
on order taking. It's easier to stay motivated with
clear goals and deadlines.
With Im4Fundraising its always
motivating. |
9 |
Communicate Clearly Before, During And
After The Program Is Put In Place
Keep energy levels high by reminding
parents, teachers and other volunteers
of the fundraising goals and deadlines.
With Im4Fundraising we assist
you. |
10 |
Avoid Shipping And Ordering Problems
With Im4Fundraising this does not
exist. |
11 |
Keep Copies Of The Order Forms
Always keep copies of the order forms before
you send them to your fundraising company.
With Im4Fundraising there is
no need to worry about this. |
12 |
Recruit Adult Volunteers Ahead Of Time
This will make the distribution
of the products to the volunteers more efficient.
With Im4Fundraising there is
no need for any volunteers. |
13 |
Double Check Products Received Against
Your Order Forms
This needs to be done before the products
are given to the volunteers to ensure that nothing is
damaged or missing.
With Im4Fundraising there is
no need to do any of this. |
14 |
Keep Absent Volunteers Informed
Don't forget to communicate the program's
kick off and other important meetings to absent volunteers.
With Im4Fundraising you do not
have to do this either due to the short time period
of coordinating this fundraiser. |
15 |
Have Fun!
A good attitude = better success!
With Im4Fundraising you only
have to count the profits. |
