I am in the process of closing out my first fund raiser, which I'm doing for a friend who is raising money for the domestic violence shelter where she works. I don't know the final figures but it is modest by "big fundraiser" standards... I think it will close between 5 and 600. Anyway, reading Carolyn's thread about her 900 invite fundraiser made me think... we need a good way to show non-profits the true potential from a fundraiser. I was wondering if anyone had compiled fundraiser results... like "Kelly in OK helped the American Cancer Society raise $300 for xxx", "Janet in NE helped Our Lady church raise $150 for the youth group mission trip" etc. That way those of us who don't have a huge history of fundraisers could have some real stats to share. I just hear a 900 invite fundraiser with a potential for at least 4K in sales and think so many other agencies could be taking advantage of this if they think big... My friend's fundraiser was great and lots of fun but in the grand scheme of things won't really bring much money into their organization. Just a thought, open to suggestions.
