Tips for a Fast Fundraiser
If you have chosen a creative idea, come up with a clever plan. And always see to it that you have a back-up plan, just in case the first one fails. Organize the fundraising event well. Make sure that everyone in your group cooperates. Make sure that everybody would be responsible enough to do their part. Ask for updates from your members and update them about the event as well. This way you’ll be able to track your progress.
Publicize your event. Tell everyone in your neighborhood about your purpose. Tell all your friends, classmates, and teachers. Let your family know and tell them to tell it to their friends too. Give away flyers, post posters on community hubs or post on your local bulletin, make an announcement over the radio or over some social networking sites.
Do not feel afraid or embarrassed. You are raising funds for a good cause, be proud of it. If you are asked to wear a ridiculous outfit as a part of the activity, do it. Always look lively and full of enthusiasm. This way, you’d be able to attract more people that can attend your event.
Be sincere. Let the people know the reason for your fundraising activity. Share your inspiring and moving fundraising stories and always be sincere with your words. And be grateful whenever you have earned something – thank them sincerely. Always receive gifts and donations graciously.
