ECHO 17 - With umpteen numbers of fundraising ideas available, you do need to choose the most suitable one which suits your fundraising purpose

You could even approach ex-students, members of the parent teacher association to plan and chip for the required cause. With dedicated involvement of students, the fundraising drive gains further momentum.

The most popular ones being bake sales, cookie dough sales, organizing discos and parties. You could even organize car wash drives or make young students sell chocolates in the neighbourhood. Even parents of the children could chip in with their valuable efforts by selling chocolates amongst their office colleagues and friends. Well, the entire process of a fund raiser works like a chain and once it gets accepted, the fundraising is truly set to become a grand success.

You can even plan an online fundraiser. Planning and setting up an online fundraiser is relatively economical and quick to set up. By pooling in suitable talent, you can easily set up a fund raising website and invite people to visit the website all the same.

Whichever method, you opt for a fundraiser you do need to proceed in a well planned manner. You are required to first plan and chalk out the basic plan of the fundraising campaign. You also need to set target on how many funds you need to raise. This stage includes preparing a list of potential people who would be willing to contribute for a social cause. You do need to plan out how you are going to introduce the topic and request for their contribution. The request and the formal note of thank you should be well drafted and rehearsed a couple of times by the volunteers who are going to move around for raising funds. If young children are going to be involved in the fundraising campaign, it makes sense to brief them thoroughly about the cause and how to approach potential people. You should also make it a point to brief and inform their parents about their participation in the fundraising drive. You could brief them through email or by a telephonic conversation or even meet them personally whichever is convenient to both the parties.

Fundraising and the ability to organize and manage it successfully requires proper skills and planning. In the initial stages though this may seem pretty tough but as you progress to organizing many fundraisers, they will seem quite easy and feasible to organize.

There is no dearth of ideas for school fund raising, it is simply necessary to choose the right one and implement it in the right manner to raise as many funds as possible for your purpose.
