Basic Fundraising Fundamentals Of An Elementary School Fundraiser

            It’s vital that you have a deep foundation about the basics of fundraising fundamentals. What kind of service or product should be offered by your elementary school fundraiser and increase the public awareness of its events is the top two priorities for this kind of fundamental basics. In this article, I will discuss to you these priorities and how to fix them since these two are one of the most important aspects in your fundraiser but also disregarded by most fundraisers.

            The first thing to discuss from the two is on how to increase the public awareness of your fundraising needs for your elementary school fundraiser. Every fundraiser’s goal is to ask help from the community in order for their supporting non-profit organization to continue their projects and activities. This is the sole purpose of a fundraising event. Most fundraisers ask financial help from the community. So you have to ensure that your community is aware or informed of your needs in order for them to know the existence of your fundraising events. This is very important especially to your volunteers because they are the ones who will be talking to your customers regarding to your fundraiser. Be sure that all of your members knows the reason in organizing a fundraiser and fully understand every part of it. Some people tend to join your fundraiser as a volunteer because they know that joining one is much fun, however they must understand the whole point of organizing a fundraiser. Without a good reason in joining the fundraiser and doing its tasks, there are chances that they’ll not give a good performance in doing their tasks. And never forget to advertise your fundraiser and its cause to the public to make your job easier. 

            Once you have promoted your fundraiser’s cause to the community, next is that you’ll show to them on what way can they help to your cause and the products you’re offering to them. Most fundraisers usually involve product sales, offering services or event organizing for the community. These will serve as a reward for them for their contribution in your fundraiser. Make sure that they can get something in return for their sponsorship and support so they can be more encouraged to help for the next event you organize. An example for this is when you want to organize a sales fundraiser; you have to offer fundraising products to your customers. You have to be direct in offering these kinds of products to your customers since most of them are very busy to even notice your explanation of those products. For them to fully understand your good cause in doing this fundraiser, this step should come last after you have stated your needs in fundraising. Always make a need first which can encourage people to support your fundraiser before you offer your services, products or events to them. The reason for this is that its awkward to offer these things to your customers immediately without even explaining to them your cause.
