Boost Your Fundraisers: Reaching Out to Youth Sports Organizations in Your Area

[linojackie]

I am trying to get some fundraisers going and I was thinking about sending out the packets (letter, catalog, etc) to a bunch of the youth sports organizations in my area. Do you think it's a good idea to do that, or should I just stick to the organizations where I know someone?

Having done several FR's my advice would be, put word out there that you (PC) offers this (your friends,family kids friends parents, etc.)

contact the FR person from whatever organization personally rather than sending the info in the mail never knowing who will actually receive it.Who will it be a coordinator, the VP??.
Most organizations have a board that includes a appointed FR person.

Especially mention it at your shows you never know who is on a board or the PTO/A somewhere.

GOOD LUCK !

As an pampered chef consultant, I think it's a great idea to reach out to as many youth sports organizations as possible for your fundraisers. Sending out packets to a wider range of organizations will increase your chances of getting a positive response and potentially reaching more potential donors. However, it's also important to consider the quality of the organizations you are targeting. If you know someone in a particular organization and can personally vouch for their legitimacy and support, it may be more beneficial to focus on them first. Ultimately, a combination of both strategies could be the most effective for your fundraising efforts. Good luck!
