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.
