Fundraise4U.net Athletic Fundraising Fundamentals Crowdfunding
The single best (and easiest) solution that often includes friends and families, and (when done correctly) usually results in a lot of fundraising revenue in relatively little time
Corporate Sponsorships
Can you get companies to sponsor your team or organization? If so, this is a good way to generate revenue (for you) while driving sales (for the sponsor). Remember that this is a relationship (not just a transaction) and that as the sponsor partner, YOU have a responsibility to support and promote your sponsors.
‘Selling Stuff’ (a technical term)
Remember to make sure that your margins (the sale price minus the cost of goods sold) justifies the effort. Remember – the goal is to generate meaningful revenue, not to just go through what seem to be the right motions
Naming Opportunities
Naming facilities (brick campaigns, donor walls, etc.) can reward donors with a naming opportunity that pays tribute to someone (or something) special while delivering meaningful revenue with favorable margins
Stewardship
THANK WELL!!! You don’t get to say ‘please’ if you aren’t willing to say ‘thank you’. Be sure to build in a meaningful thanking strategy that goes beyond the tax receipts. Feel free to reach out to us at info@fundraise4u.net if you have any questions – good luck!!!
