FUNDRAISING

Opportunities To Help Your Local School!

1. BE ENERGETIC AND MOTIVATED
Nothing is more contagious than enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Whatever your group or organization is setting out to accomplish must begin with motivated individuals who have their hearts into the endeavor.

2. ESTABLISH YOUR GOALS
If you sit down and establish a goal, it will be easier to begin your fundraiser. Do a little informal research to see what is realistic and outline the steps it will take you to get there.

3. START EARLY AND ORDER EARLY
It is best to have your final products in hand a couple of weeks before a scheduled event. Order at least 4 to 5 weeks in advance to avoid running into problems. Sometimes unforeseen hurdles pop up that delay projects so don’t wait until the last minute to order.

4. GET A SPONSOR INVOLVED
You would be surprised at how many local businesses would love the opportunity to participate in a fundraiser, AND advertise their company. Their sponsorship can help you financially get off the ground. We can add a company’s logo to most products at no extra cost, as long as we do not exceed the 1-3 color rule. If you need an extra color we may be able to add it for a small additional charge.

5. ASK EVERYONE YOU KNOW
Speak with friends and family, colleagues, neighbors, local trades people, your employer, business contacts, large commercial firms, clubs and associations. Don’t forget to write down phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the people who are interested in helping so that you can follow-up. Speak to everyone you know to get their support.

6. REMEMBER TO THANK EVERYONE FOR GETTING INVOLVED
A simple thank you letter goes a long way. It just may inspire them to help you again with your next project!
