ABC'S OF FUNDRAISING 

How To Have A Successful, Profitable Fundraiser



  • A ASK QUESTIONS! Make sure your fundraiser is going to do exactly what you want it to do! There should be no "secrets". You shouldn't sell products just to find out that there was a hidden charge when it comes time for you to get your money. Our fundraisers charge nothing. We even cover the cost of shipping and handling!
  • BBE PREPARED. Know your goals. Know your reasons for raising funds. Share them with your prospective buyers! Each team should sit down and come up with one common goal and the reason for needing it in order to present themselves as a solid team before their buyers.
  • CCONFIDENCE. If you get in front of your prospective buyer and are unsure of your goals, you will get nervous and that can potentially cause you to lose a sale! Have your meeting described above and practice selling to one another! Be Confident!

"Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective!

TIPS & IDEAS 

List as many potential donors as you can before you begin approaching people for support. Start with family and friends, and then proceed to your neighbors and other people whom you feel would be interested in your cause.

Know why your group is holding the fundraiser, and communicate this to potential donors. For example: "Our group is raising money in order to finance our trip to the annual tournament."

Smile, be polite and most importantly, be enthusiastic about your cause.
If possible, always carry your fundraising products with you.


Cheerleaders are the lifeblood of a sports team, providing pep, excitement, and team spirit to any game. Without them to put on a wonderful show, the crowd wouldn't get as excited and the players may not do their absolute best. Plus, who can resist those pretty girls smiling and performing their acrobatics? What everyone forgets, however, is that although the sports teams need funds to pay for all of their equipment, the cheerleaders also need money to keep the squad going. Sell products in your school colors! read more on cheerleader fundraisers

If any organization can fundraise, it's a church! A lot of people have a hard time saying no to giving to God, and that's great for the upkeep and general expenses that a church has. Churches run almost solely on donations, and many require their members to give if they can, every Sunday, without fail. However, this sometimes isn't enough to fix the leaky roof or to install a new stained-glass window. Here's where church fundraisers come into play - they generate the extra funds to ensure that the church stays a house of God and not a broken-down shack.read more on church related fundraisers
