Breast Cancer Charity Fundraising Tips
1. Put your project plan in writing - Run your fundraiser like it
is a business. Create a business plan and stick to it closely.
Look at hidden expenses, rules and regulations for your area
and create a time line.
2. The Time line - Make sure that your start date and end
date are both firm. Make sure your project does not conflict
with other major events.
3. Recruit Volunteers – Look for like-minded individuals that
excel in different skills. It is great to recruit individuals that
excel in accounting, sales, management, web design and
marketing.
4. Incorporate your website - Your website should be used to
communicate goals, thank your sponsors, recognize
successes, honor individual contributors, tell about upcoming
events, etc. Be sure you promote your web site on all your
marketing materials. Use the site to attract sponsorship.
5. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. Use existing groups
to generate a buzz, through "Meet-up", Facebook, Twitter,
local women's groups, churches, etc.
6. Define Roles - Match the needs of your organization with
the volunteer's skills and availability by including it in those
written volunteer position's description.
7. Move people around - Unless you have a good reason not
to switch roles, put new people (with a good track record) in
those organizational roles that will move your fundraiser
forward. Do this ahead of time. Provide proper training.
8. The early bird gets the "volunteer" - Let the community
know early and often about what volunteers you need.
Recruit more volunteers than you think you will need. This
way, no one feels overworked. And of course, those
volunteers will be able to pick up the slack in the event others
don't follow through as expected. Have volunteer sign-up
forms at every event and meeting your organization hosts.
Certain organizations such as fraternities and sororities can
be recruited to be helpers.
9. Set realistic goals - Break those goals down into what's
needed from each sub-group. Let the volunteers know the
importance of their roles and what's in it for them. Reward
volunteers based upon their individual and group success.
10. Give Reminders: Technology is great for this. Volunteers
should be sent a text or email throughout the fund raising
event to remind them about deadlines and when things need
to be wrapped up.
11. Recognize your volunteers for their hard work!
