1. Fundraising -
The Basics
How many times in one week do you pick up the phone only to
find that you are being asked to donate again?
Yes, it's a deserving cause, yet again, but there is only so
much you can give of yourself and your funds. It is good that
people are helping each other, but it becomes hard on the donor
to be constantly bombarded with requests for donations. As a
result, we find that we have to work harder at fundraising,
involving a lot more people to avoid relying on just
one group of donors.
Previously, fundraisers could get by with
holding just one fundraising event per year, but now that
just isn't enough. It becomes necessary to hold several
fundraisers just to survive. We need to treat it as a
business, and organize it as such. Did you know that there
are organizations who will run your fundraiser for you, at a
price? Fundraising has itself become a big business
opportunity. There are large numbers of
companies willing to get involved
with your fundraiser, as long as they share your
profit.
There are all kinds of programs and workshops
that can help you, but unfortunately this can eat rather
heavily into your profits. But don't worry, this free
fundraising ebook will help you learn how to run an
effective fundraiser, and it will give you some effective
strategies and some great ideas.
So, does your non-profit organization
have the following?
- determination
- the willingness to work hard
- a real desire to succeed at
fundraising
- perseverance
If the answer is "no", then you need to
either find new volunteers with these qualities, or else find a
fundraiser that will bring out these qualities in your helpers.
I would hope that the answer is "yes", in which
case you already have the basics for
successful fundraising. Now you just need some basic
tools and ideas that can help you become more effective at
raising money. This is exactly what
this book is all about. By the time you have finished
this book you will know:
- Where to turn for money
- How to tell great fundraising ideas
from those that will not make you as much
money
- How to get and stay
organized
- How to ensure that your group works well
together and follows through for maximum fundraising
success
- How to organize a fundraising team to
get real results
- How to use technology to make more money
for your non-profit group
- How to use fundraising secrets to
raise more money but with less hassle - each
time
- How to communicate in a way that will
ensure more fundraising money for your
organization
But first, you need to understand a few
concepts.
