Fundraising Tips of the Day! (Part 5 of 5)

Happy Friday, everyone!  Here are some more great fundraising tips to round out the week!
  • Perform a free service for donations: Shovel snow, baby-sit or walk dogs. Friends, family and neighbors are always looking for some extra help. Lend a hand in exchange for their donations.
  • It’s Party Time! Host a party at your home or at a local restaurant or bar with food and/or drinks. Charge a cover to guests and put the proceeds to your campaign. Entertain your guests by having card, drinking or fun games or tournaments.  There are tons of bars that will let you do a package "All You Can Drink” wristband and they you can charge over this cost to have the profits assist in your dancer total!
  • Lastly, look into Employee Match Programs: Lots of time places of employment will have a matching gifts program.  If so, you can easily double or triple your fundraising dollars.  Ask your donors as well; they may have a program through their own employer.  Companies encourage their employees to participate in the community.  Lots of times it is a simple paper form that is very easy and your company appreciates your involvement.
