Fundraising Chair Tips For The Squeamish:

Do not panic. Fundraising is not for the light of heart or squeamish. Now is the time for action and the following plan is a good place to start.

Step 1 Set Yourself a Goal
Know your purpose and what you can be depended upon to do. What are the primary goals of your organization and how many fundraiser dollars are required to meet those goals.

Step 2 Recruit a Support System
Often times fundraising chairs don’t delegate enough of their responsibilities. Recruit a team to support you.

Step 3 Select Your Partner Company
Should you choose the wrong fundraiser company your best intentions will likely fail. No two fundraiser companies are alike, just as no two fundraisers are alike.

Step 4 Finalize The Details
Contact your fundraiser company representative and meet with your fundraising committee to review your plans.

Step 5 Promote The Event
Send a flier home to parents announcing your fundraising goal and when they can expect to receive their brochures or products. Send out email and be sure to make a post on your social network.

Step 6 The Countdown Begins
Touch base with your chosen fundraiser company, school administrators and officials to reconfirm your plans.

Step 7 Enjoy Your Event
Begin by kicking off the event and enjoying the process. If everything goes smoothly you are almost home free. Materials and brochures should now go home to each supporter.

Step 8 Product Delivery
Again, fundraising programs will vary widely. Sometimes products will go home with students and sometimes not.

Step 9 Evaluate Your Event
Did your group meet or exceed financial expectations? Are plans underway toward fulfilling the originally stated goal?
