Set an objective: This should include a mission statement
or goal and a financial objective .
For example: Our group must raise GBP 2,000 to pay for new cots in
the orphanage as well as food and supplies for the children’s
Christmas party.
Set a deadline: Best to keep it short to keep participants
motivated - 2 weeks for a small and simple fundraiser should be enough.
Organize your volunteers: Get the group members together
and organize a selling strategy that will lead to success. It is a good
idea to assign locations and different groups of people to each member,
and a time frame for solicitation.
Motivate the participants!!: Enthusiasm is key, and
it is vital to maintain close contact with the group members, making
sure they stay motivated and in gear. Being a good role model is important,
in terms of the amount of time and effort you put into the campaign.
