Note: People are likely to support your fundraising plan if they feel a sense of ownership in it. Ask your group members for suggestions, opinions, insights and feedback. Let them know you truly value their role.
Before launching a fund drive, make sure your idea maximizes your fundraising efficiency. In other words, are you raising money at the lowest cost-per-dollar raised?
Make sure you pick a project that won’t burn out all your volunteers at one event.
