Fun Fundraising Is Successful Fundraising

Throwing an event is one of the best Fundraising Ideas out there.  It's fun and simple, especially when your group is passionate about the organization and its plans for using the well-deserved cash you will earn together. Perhaps you are planning an exciting excursion or hosting a fabulous annual party, or donating the money to another reputable non-profit your group supports. However you spend it, at Buy For Charity we have the tools and advice you need to make earning it fun and successful.

Start by setting realistic fundraising goals for how much your group should earn as a whole and individually. On average, each member of the group should aim to sell between five and 15 items, whether it’s Discount Cards, classic Candy Fundraising or donations through our Give Planet fundraiser.

Plan for your fundraising to run for two to three weeks, with distinct start and end dates. Start it off with an engaging kick-off rally to get the team pumped to get out there and sell! Create a prize program as a way to reward your top supporters and encourage others to give more. Be sure to plan a straightforward sales pitch that will get your team talking about the fundraising ideas with potential donors.

As the fundraising campaign leader, set an example for the team by selling a significant number of products or accruing several donations yourself. As the face of your fundraising, be present and supportive to your team throughout the campaign.

When it’s all over, celebrate with a fundraising party (sponsored by your newly earned cash!) that you and your team will enjoy. The party can be an exciting incentive for the group when you promote it effectively throughout the fundraising event.
