Fundraising Tips for your School or Association

FUNDRAISING TIPS

Here are a few Fundraising Tips to get your School or Association thinking.

1) SET GOALS:

* Sales for your group and each selling member
* Start & finish - Set kick off dates and completion dates and stick to them.

2) PLANNING TIME:

* Give yourself enough time to get the fundraiser organized.

3) KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER:

* Choose a fundraiser your customer will buy & use. A fundraiser that offers great profits or involves a product or service which the members like may do poorly if the customers won’t buy it.

4) KNOW YOUR COMPETITION:

* Know your competition – Avoid conducting your fundraiser at the same time as other groups. Choose a fundraiser that offers products which are not the same old thing, offer a great value and something which your customers actually use. Have your group conduct one fundraiser at a time. Doing more than one fundraiser does not mean more money, doing one fundraiser and doing it well, will allow you to achieve and exceed your goals.
