By using targeted appeals, the group was able to target people individually. Some individuals like to be known as philanthropists. No matter what your fundraising goals in the long run, you should spend at least some of your fundraising efforts trying to reach individual donors. That is exactly what this book is all about.

Giver burnout happens when individuals get so many appeals for help - from large cancer societies, small womens shelters, literacy organizations, and every possible non-profit group in-between that they feel overwhelmed and are less apt to contribute anything to anyone. Go back over this ebook and reapply these strategies again to your fundraising. Training Volunteers Once you have some volunteers willing to help you with your fundraising, you will need to explain to them what you expect from your group and your volunteers. What are some probable responses? These marathons can be expensive to sponsor unless you can get a company to help you, as the cost of cooking supplies can be quite high.

Grant proposals

Grant proposals or applications will be an important part of your fundraising, as often you can get large sums of money for writing an effective grant application. Grant applications often have several components, which may include:

Letters of reference

A formal proposal of what you intend to do with the grant money

A formal explication (with supporting evidence) of what your non-profit group is

Plans for your programs or groups facilities

A business plan for your group

Information about resources you have and a list of resources you need

Information about your workers/group members/volunteers

Future plans and goals for your group

Financial papers that show what your group needs

The grant application will tell you what material you need to submit. It is vital that you follow all directions for filling out the application to the letter. Many grant providers will automatically throw out or reject any applications that do not follow application instructions.

If you can, look at an example of a successful grant application to get a sense of what sorts of applications get a specific grant.

Grant providers want to make sure that the money from the grant is used as well as possible. That means that in your proposal you need to prove that your group is focus, organized and responsible enough to use grant money wisely. Grant providers also want to make sure that their grant money goes to a group that uses the money in a useful way.

In your application, stress how many people your group can help with the money and how the grant money will be used to create a better life for people in some way. The more compelling reasons you give grant providers that you will use the money carefully and effectively, the more likely you are to get the grant.
