Fundraising Connections

Does Your Organization Need to Fundraise?

Have you experienced some cutbacks in funding lately? Are you finding more red than black in your organizational books? Are you tired of being so dependent on Government funding? Fundraising can provide the critical difference between break even and deficit financing. The key to successful fundraising is the planning and followup involved with each fundraising event.

Why Do People Donate?

We all want to have meaning and purpose in our lives, whether as individuals or as business. Perhaps we are involved in service clubs or volunteering for a group. When it comes to donating, we want to give our money and our time to something that will really make a difference...something that we personally care about......and belong to a cause bigger than ourselves. Finding the right fit between donor and charity can ensure long term commitment and support . As government downsizes and downloads, charities will face increasing cuts, and corporate support and fundraising will ensure survival.

Who Gives Money to Non Profit Organizations and Groups?

• Ordinary people who believe in the cause
• Service Clubs
• Charitable Foundations
• Corporate Donors
• Government

Which One Would Be Best For Us?

Before you can decide which donor approach to take you need to develop a plan.
What is the vision and mission of your organization? Your fundraiser will need to know what your group represents and why in order to bring others to share the vision and goals. The fundraiser will need to develop a fundraising plan or strategy -

• how the money can be raised......strategies
• donors
• who will help
• how long it will take....develop a timeline
