Many Ways To Fundraise
Different people try to achieve different goals with a fundraising campaign. Most of them could be put into one of the three categories – steady income, jab and big bucks. Regardless of the organization you are representing you might be going for a campaign with one of these objectives in mind.
Steady income campaigns are focused on bringing you a continuous flow of income all year long. Obviously you would need a separate and dedicated team working on it the whole year round. If there are no standing instructions for the people working the campaign, you might find that they spend more time trying to sort logistics out rather than profitable fundraising activities. Given the statistic that on an average a person uses a mobile phone for one to one and a half years, you could ask your donors to agree to contribute one used mobile phones each year or so! Phoneraiser helps you get the most for those used mobile phones! Make sure that the basics are covered at all times, and make sure that you have clearly defined instructions for your team.
Jabs are just what they sound like. If you are planning to run a campaign to add to your primary income, you are going for a booster or a jab campaign. This requires you to come up with some innovative ideas to bring in quick money. Social events are the best way to go. You can always arrange a social event and sell tickets in advance. With the idea that you get back what you have invested by selling about half of the total tickets and rest being the profit, you can gain a lot in a short time. Further, selling tickets in advance increases the chance of more people turning up for the event and helps you plan. Use the event to build a rapport with your community and also to extol the benefits of your organization. Selling your benefits is the most important aspect of fundraising campaigns.
On the other hand, if you are trying to pull big strings and make a mountain of cash, you are looking for a big bucks fundraising campaign. This no doubt requires you to spend a lot of time on fundraising activities. A grand event is what is needed. Getting a celebrity or well know person to help publicize your campaign is the best way to go. You have to put in your best efforts and give everything you have to give to make these types of campaigns successful. In essence you are looking for an idea where you would raise big money in a short period of time. Phoneraiser pitches in with a huge contribution for this kind of effort.
