These are politicians who want to take advantage of the event for their upcoming candidacy and businesses to get free advertising on their new products (maybe).

Sponsorships are good, but most non-profits should be raising over 50% of thier money from individual donors. David, you’re right, fundraising isn’t easy, but it is necessary.

The only technique I know in order to make this activity success, you go to big companies who are open for sponsorship. These companies, most of the time, are too conscious with their status in the society. Fund raising activities isn’t that really easy.

Yes, I always suggest a training session for staff and volunteers, at least once per year, that provides an overview of the mission, success stories from those who are directly helped, and information on how to effectively communication the organization's mission and values to the public.

It is good to see you advise that people set aside a portion of the special event program to focus on mission. That is a critical step that is overlooked. I suspect part 2 of your blog would be advise to get everybody on the same page when it comes to talking about your mission. It is always a success when staff, board members and volunteers are all hitting the same points when focusing on mission. Joe, great advice for focusing on mission.
