You need to remind others that their efforts are a valuable gift and one that is well appreciated by your non-profit. Hosting your book drive at the same time as the local school is hosting theirs could also be a problem. Admission fees and the sale of refreshments usually ensures a profit.

In order to organize a marathon, you will have to find a place for the marathon, ensure that advertising gets enough participants, and arrange ways to feed or refresh the participating volunteers. Tell them what the group does and how the group got started. In advertising, you will communicate through words and images and sounds (if you are advertising through radio or television).

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. Some volunteers have little or no work experience while others are professionals or even leaders in their field. In either case, you will have to let them know how you want things to be done at your non-profit group.

To train your volunteers, set aside some time to show your new recruits around the offices or workspace of your non-profit (if you have such a space). Tell them what the group does and how the group got started. Allow your group to ask questions and be sure to give them your fundraising plan so that they can see how they fit into your groups effort. Also, show them any specific tasks that need to be done (operating a cash register, for example, or writing out a tax receipt properly) in order for them to do their volunteer work well.
