Fundraising Programs and Ideas by Thara Washington
Fund raising; this is the process of collecting money for a specific group or organization, either from individual donors or corporations for a specific cause.
What makes a successful fund raiser? The success of the fundraiser is in direct proportion to the quality of the product being sold and having a team that is persistent, dedicated, willing to work hard and has a desire to succeed.
Fundraising is a great way to fund projects, activities or any other worthy causes that an organization may have.
When planning your fund raiser be sure that you have a clear idea of how much money you need to raise, the capital (how much money you have to invest in materials), what kind of fundraiser to have, and is the fundraising idea suited to your community. When the product is something that the individuals will want, they will be more than likely to make a purchase.
The unique fundraising ideas are usually the most profitable because they present a new and fun way to help with a worthy cause, than the typical bake sale (Girl Scouts) or raffle.
The best way to have an effective fund raiser is to use the first three letters in the word as your guide (F-U-N-raiser). The more fun you make your fundraiser the more profit you can rake in, that's why ideas like concerts or pizza parties are guaranteed to bring in big dollars.
Fundraising essentials
There are a host of different options and you should choose the one that best suits you or your organization's needs. When you decide on which fundraising idea you want to use, make sure that everything that you will be offering will amount to at least the amount you need to raise (it is better to cater for over the amount you need.).
So get your prices set for each item before hand and make certain that you have the manpower materials and necessary equipment/tools.
When you have decided on the items and prices you need to determine whether the price on every item is worth it- Just because it's a fundraiser doesn't mean that the prices need to be exorbitant. This can discourage people from supporting your cause.
Fundraising Ideas
Here are some new hot and happening ideas for a Fundraiser;
Fundraising Auction- a fundraising auction is an effective way to raise funds because you can easily get double sometimes triple your targeted amount. Just make sure that you have items that would appeal to the masses and are valuable.
Candy fundraising- I haven't met anyone on this earth who doesn't like candy, so having a candy fundraising is a sure fire way to raise funds. You can have lots of chocolates, cookie dough, lollipops and many sweet and delicious products on sale.
Pizza fundraising- This is a new and popular idea because pizza is one of the most popular foods, so having a variety will help you raise the funds you need in no time.
I've just given you a few ideas but, a fundraising idea can be anything you can think of that will appeal to your community- cakes, car wash, sports day, etc. The possibilities are endless!
