FUNDRAISING

Why do we Fundraise?

To generate enough funds to support both our administrative and service accounts, we fundraise.While it takes some creative thought and effort, there are three basic categories to fundraising:• Services• Sponsorship• Sales

Service Fundraisers

Doing odds jobs and small tasks is a great way to earn funds for any organization.Examples include:• Bagging Groceries• Car Washes• Performing odd jobs for

minimal cost

Sponsorship Fundraisers

Fundraisers where you seek sponsors can be a lot of fun since they can be paired with social events:• Bowl-a-thons• Dance-a-thons• Walk-a-thons

Also, you can seek corporate sponsors by selling advertisements or by telling them they can make a tax-deductible donation.

Sales Fundraisers

Organizations like the Girl Scouts are successful because of a product.Key Club International and Kiwanis both have licensed merchandise:• www.keyprofits.com: Lollipops,

Candy, and Smencils• www.kiwanispeanutday.com: Trail Mix and Nuts
