fundraising feasibility study
Many people (and even companies) are willing to offer their help and labor even if they are more cautious about offering their money. Proceeds (which can be quite high) go to your group. If something seems out of place or wrong donors will walk away without offering support for your group. Volunteer information - Contact information, emergency information, and any other items of interest will need to be stored so that you can contact your workers or help them in case of an emergency. Always identify yourself and your non-profit group when you answer the phone or call someone in regards to fundraising business. For inspiration, try looking at the Guinness World Book of records and other similar reference works for activities that could be converted into a marathon.

We are hoping that your publishing company will be able to provide some unused or unsold books to donate for sale. However, trying to organize something huge (a county fair, a country-wide food drive) is very expensive and time-consuming. Felicitations Child was founded by Doe three months ago after the director of the current non-profit group read about the falling rates of book reading in London. I cant believe its gone, and I cant believe no one seems to have cared about the tearing down of the library. Web pages are quite inexpensive to set up, especially if someone in your group already knows how to design one. Advertisers, computer programs, and even paid workshops have all been set up to help you learn how to fundraise.

Dealing With Volunteers


Your volunteers are like your donors - they are people who offer their services to you at no charge. It is insensitive and often ineffective to treat them as employees. You should be happy that there are people willing to help you with no money as a reward. You should also try to give your volunteers some value for their experience - either by offering them work experience or a truly friendly atmosphere or some other perk. You should also periodically express your appreciation for your workers, much as you would express your appreciation for the money that donors give.

Remember: To many, time is more valuable than even money. Your volunteers are offering you a valuable resource by offering you their time. Do not squander this gift or take it for granted.

If you have trouble with volunteers - either because volunteers do not seem to be doing their work or seem to be creating drama, be sure that you continue to work with your volunteers rather than taking on an employer or disciplinary role. In many cases, conflict or idle time can be avoided by clearly telling volunteers what is to be done and by what time. Ask for volunteers for specific tasks, assign those fundraising tasks, and then set a deadline on those tasks. That way, each person will know what they are to do and by when.

Many conflicts among volunteers can also be avoided with a little planning. Try to match tasks with volunteer personalities. Outgoing volunteers will often do well interacting with donors, while quieter volunteers can be quite useful handling email or letter correspondence or doing market research. If you notice tensions among volunteers, offering to let volunteers work apart until things settle down can be effective. On a larger fundraising project, there is often enough room for every one.

Above all, keep lines of communication with your volunteers open. A team attitude can go a long way. If your workers feel comfortable talking to you, they will be happy to let you know what you need to know in order to organize your work force most efficiently.
