Fundraising 101: A Beginner's Guide to Successful Fundraising

[coopersgirl]

Are there any instructions on doing fundraisers? I am new and someone wants to do a fundraiser. Do you give them money?

Look in your business guide. Fundraisers with commissionable sales from $1-599 are at 10% to the organization, with NO host benefits - except monthly host special. NO shopping spree, NO half priced items, NO discount shopping, NO discount for a year. Also, they only net you 15% instead of usual commission. If commissionable sales hit $500, then PamperedChef grants 15% to the organization. Market this with the fact that we don't raise our prices for fundraisers, customers get the same quality products for competitive prices, that they would at a regular show. Point out RUFTH and HWC campaigns. Contact me separately for some success ideas - my $3300 show was a fundraiser.

Consider them as an outreach opportunity, a chance to practice your demo and to make contacts in the larger community. They will help grow your business.

There are definitely instructions and guidelines for doing fundraisers! Fundraisers are a great way to raise money for a certain cause or organization. As for giving them money, it depends on the type of fundraiser and your personal preference. Some fundraisers involve selling products or services, in which case you would give them money for the item or service. Other fundraisers may involve simply collecting donations, in which case you can give them money if you feel inclined to do so. It's always a good idea to research the fundraiser and the cause it supports before deciding to give money. You can also offer to volunteer your time or skills to help with the fundraiser instead of giving money. Ultimately, it's up to you and your personal financial situation.
