Fundraising 101
Successful steps for a profitable fundraiser
- Select a fundraising program.
- Planning session - Set financial goals, fundraising time frame (we recommend 2 weeks for a fundraiser) and make sure you stick to the set time!
- Alert community (students, teachers and parents) about fundraiser.
- Promote fundraiser through parent letters, posters and community announcements.
- Hold a "kick-off" rally, which educates the kids on the fundraising programs, and build enthusiasm to reach fundraising goals.
- Start the fundraiser!
- Monitor progress and provide encouragement and incentives to keep the kids motivated.
- Once the fundraiser is complete, collect the order forms and money.
- Tally the results.
- Send tally form and payment to fundraising company.
- Schedule delivery date with fundraising company.
- Set time and place for student and parents to meet to pick up delivered products. Have parents and teachers to volunteer to help distribute product in an orderly fashion.
- Check for damaged products and any mis-orders and make the necessary arrangements with the fundraising company for replacements.
- Have they student deliver their products that they sold. A personal thank you letter by the students can't hurt.
- Enjoy the fruits of your labor and start thinking of ways on improving your next fundraiser.
