District Fundraising/Budg

etingSpeaker: Brian MacQueen

Is fundraising necessary?

Just collecting district dues will not allow your district to be fully functional.

Fundraising Committee

Establish a fundraising committee within your district.

Budget your year out (travelling expenses, PAPCO, PCOC Cares, Scholarship Foundation, saving reserves, etc.)

Plan your fundraising events a year or two out.

Set aside time to discuss fundraising in your monthly meeting along with your affiliate reports, new business, old business, etc.

Putting together a Fundraising Committee will get more people involved.

Reasons for Fundraising

• Support PAPCO, PCOC Cares, Scholarship Foundation, etc.

• Getting a full compliment of Director’s to all of the Board of Director’s meetings. (SPCB meetings, NPMA, Leadership, Legislative Day, etc.) This will help awareness back at your districts.

• Support your District (Bringing in new members, members families, employees, creating a positive social environment, etc.)

PAPCOPAPCO, Political Action by Pest Control Operators, was formed for the purpose of making contributions to legislators that are favorable to pest control or are in leadership positions with in California legislature.

Credit Card Processing

• Credit Card processing service: WorldPay, Heather Tutton (Ecosksan Pest Solutions) will link charges to your district’s bank accounts.

• WorldPay will issue your district card readers. (5% of the profits go back to your district and 15% of the profits go back to state office of PCOC.)

District Meetings

Pick the right venue for your district meeting.

Put in effort to make sure your district makes money off of your meeting.

Example: Orange County District gets charged $19.50 per person at Dave & Busters. They get the room at no charge if they have more than 40 people. They charge $30.00 at the door. On average they have 50 people attend their meeting a month, which leaves them $525.00.

50/50 DrawingHalf a deck of cards or pull out all the face cards and joker. San Bernardino/Riverside once paid out $3000.00.

Raffle PrizesAsk participants to bring a raffle prize to the next district meeting and make sure you put the pledges in the meeting minutes. Sell raffle tickets at the door. Being able to charge credit cards at the door will definitely increase your fundraising efforts.

Thinking outside of the Box

Orange County Chair advertised on projection screen during social hour for manufactures, distributors, fumigation contractors, etc. at $300.00 for the year. He also put up the 50/50 amount, next up coming speakers, Board of Director meeting information, etc. and ran it on a continual loop. He brought in $2500.00 that year.

Orange County District asked Target Specialty Products and Univar to purchase a 60” LCD Television during a vendor night and raffle tickets were sold at $10.00. The district sold 76 ticket that night generating $760.00.

San Bernardino/Riverside District has a Christmas party each year and does a silent auction. Each year they have companies donate very large raffle prizes. Each year they have 3 fumigation companies donate $700 - $1000 fumigations. They bring in each year approximately $3500 - $4500.

Any other ideas???
