2) Contact everyone you know. Even if you have not talked to that friend for a while, it's never too late to reach out to a friendship.
|
|
3) Ask your family and friends to help you fundraise and get the word out.
|
4) Brainstorm business owners and managers who would consider Corporate Sponsorships or donate goods to help you fundraise.
|
|
5) You will be surprised by how many people will help you with your fundraising goal; you will even receive donations from people you may not know. Just remember to thank them. Take your fundraising letter with wherever you go -- you never know when you'll get an opportunity.
|
|
6) Ask the people you work with for help.
|
7) Try a combination of fundraising ideas, including a raffle, a fundraising letter, online fundraising, a party, a wine tasting, corporate involvement, etc...
|
8) Start fundraising now! The earlier you start, the more you will raise.
|
9) Donate to yourself. When people know you have made a donation to yourself they will feel very comfortable helping you.
|
10) Last but not least -- if you don't ask, you won't receive! Why not start today?
