Fundraising ideas

Fundraising doesn’t need to be boring, you can be fun and inventive with fundraising these days attracting more people to it than the good old sturdy and trusted raffle.
 
When thinking about fundraising, remember it shouldn’t be considered to pay for the everyday operational costs of the assn or club; rather it should fund special activities such as new buildings, special events, overseas team trips, and new programmes or projects.
 
A plan of action needs to form when wanting to raise funds, so you need to form or get the fundraising committee to meet to;
 
  1. Determine the amount you wish to raise
  2. Compile a time frame
  3. Review any past successes
  4. Remember enthusiasm counts - If you’re enthusiastic about something, you’ll be more motivated to sell and get people involved.
  5. Uncover any hidden talents and resources of club members, friends, relatives and associates.
  6. Promote your fundraiser in the appropriate places
  7. Make sure you have obtained all the necessary permissions and have covered all regulations (i.e.: council regulations, alcohol laws etc)
