Four Things for a Successful Fundraiser

Four Things for a Successful Fundraiser:

Fundraisers can sometimes appear to be overwhelming and might even seem like its headed for disaster. We do not want you to ever feel overwhelmed while doing good for others! Take a look at our four main ingredients for a successful fundraiser.

1. Plan Ahead - Schedule meetings to discuss the purpose of the fundraiser as well as goals with all stakeholders, set important dates and get the necessary approvals.
2. Avoid Holidays - Have your fundraisers outside of busy holidays. This gives people time to fully participate and get excited.
3. Market To Everyone - Similar to advertising a new product, one should advertise their fundraiser for maximum impact. Ensure that people are aware of what you are doing and why. Utilize social media, posters, flyers, etc.
4. Share Your Gratitude - It might seem very trivial to the success of a fundraiser, but this is one of the main complaints that contributors have! They are never thanked for their contributions, so be sure to send an email or card where applicable to those supporting your fundraiser, including volunteers.
