Smart Fundraising

Smart fundraising takes alot of research and help from your organization, if you are in charge of the fundraising aspect for your group.

Finding the great Fundraiser for your group can be a challenge but you can do it with lots of knowledge of what is available. Looking for different and the most popular fundraisers are a must.

Different fundraisers are flower bulb fundraisers, scented fundraising smencils, trees, scratch card fundraisders and Go Green programs.

Finding a unique fundraiser is great because it will be new in your area and something that people will not already have or have been bombarded with.

The most popular fundraisers are Cookie Dough Fundraising, candles, pizza cards and sandwich shop cards. These are great because people do actually use these products and the pizza/sandwich cards provide a good deal for the sponsor. Be sure and talk to your group about needs and what they think will be best for your area and the group. Just because a fundraiser appeals to you, it may not appeal to the other members. Smart fundraising is a group effort and should be well thought out and followed through. So many groups start a fundraiser and never

finish because they had lack of interest for the group or community. It is very important to research, discuss and follow through any fundraising programs so it will provide the needs of the group.
