Elementary School Fundraisers: Building Community Awareness

            Do you often wonder how some elementary school fundraisers are very successful? Do they have a secret technique, strategy or product that helped them reach financial success? In this particular fundraising article, I am going to discuss some of the most basic fundraising fundamentals that can help you make your dream of reaching fundraising success possible.

            In organizing elementary school fundraisers you need to increase and improve the awareness of your events in the community. Since you are just starting, it is highly recommended to raise the awareness of your fundraiser so that people especially your customers will know that you are organizing a fundraising activity. You must ensure that people in your community are aware with your needs since they cannot help you in the first place if they don’t even know what you need. Since what you need will be money for your fundraiser, you must indicate the exact value of your target so that your supporters and members will know how much money is needed to obtain in order to consider your fundraising campaign successful. Aside from increasing the awareness of your needs, you also need to make sure that the community is well aware of what you are offering. Whether or not you will be offering products or services, it is important that the people who will be participating in your events know what you are offering them in return for their financial support. In order to properly train your volunteers and members about your fundraising needs, you need to ask them a few questions first: 1: Can your fundraising needs expressed in one sentence? This is very important especially if your volunteers will be asked by the community why they are conducting a fundraiser. They need to properly express themselves the reason why they are fundraising so that people will understand how they are going to help you out. 2: Has everybody in your fundraising team knows the real reason behind their efforts? You need to understand that not all people in your fundraising team know why you are fundraising. Some of them joined you maybe because most of their friends are joining your fundraiser. Since they are willing to learn and give their time and effort in your fundraising campaign, you need to teach each and every one of the real purpose of your fundraiser. This will also give them a sense of purpose of why they are fundraising as well as a motivation for their actions. 3: Will expressing your needs to the community beneficial to the overall success of your fundraiser? When providing facts about your fundraiser, it is very important to take note that not every need must be stated to your customers. This will make your fundraising campaign very dependent to the people in your community. You just need to state important facts about your fundraiser especially your needs and what you will be offering them since this be beneficial to the overall success of your fundraising project.
