fundraising non profit organization
If you live in a bedroom community full of seniors, a skate-board-a-thon may simply not draw as many people as a fair or a retro dance. If, on the other hand, you find that you require more money and have had smaller success with targeted donors (because, for example, a group with a similar mandate has also been fundraising your area) then expanding your list of potential donors may be one way to get more money for your non-profit. Direct mail letters may require extras such as photos or images to really capture attention. One other thing you may want to do now that you have completed this ebook is start your own research into fundraising. If you can get someone to donate more valuable pieces (artworks or antiques) to your non-profit you can organize an auction yourself or have a local auction house sell the piece in exchange for part of the profit.

Multi-Fundraising


You will likely need more than one fundraising strategy. Unless your group is quite small or supported generously by a patron or government agency, you will need to try several methods of fundraising in order to succeed.

This is especially important because people who will not respond to one type of fundraising will respond to another, so that you will get more donors as well as more fundraising revenue by trying several methods of fundraising. The person who will not donate money to a food bank may still donate canned goods. The food bank that offers this second fundraising option will therefore get this persons support. Since each fundraising venture costs money and takes effort, try to find ways to fundraise with less effort or fundraise in complementary ways. For example, you can combine a raffle or a sale with a marathon. You can (and should) combine grant applications with almost any other fundraising method.
