Raffle Secrets Course Ready
By coincidence, Chris Brisson is releasing his Raffle Secrets course
today. In addition to contributing a seminar to this course, I've also
had a chance to review the entire course material. I have to say, I
couldn't have done it better myself!
Chris draws on his wide range of experience helping groups conduct
raffles. You'll find instructions to solve the most pressing issues
about raffles: finding prizes, raffle laws, printing tickets, and of
course getting those tickets sold.

Feature Article: Review Your Fundraising Goals &
Achievements
Every organization should have fundraising goals that correspond with
its vision for the future. But what good are goals if you don't evaluate
them?
Take some time during your staff and board meetings to discuss the
successes and challenges of meeting fundraising goals during 2006.
Consider the hard facts - the number of donations, total amount raised
and number of new donors. Also don't forget the outcomes that are not
as tangible - such as donor relationships and how your team responded
to challenges.
Here are a few questions for your group to consider:
1. What goals did your organization set for 2006? Did you
meet those initial expectations?
2. What unexpected challenges did you face this year? How did you
respond to them?
3. What unexpected positive outcomes came from your fundraising
efforts, such as new donors and funding opportunities?
4. What knowledge did your team gain from the past year's experiences
that can be applied in the future?
5. How does your fundraising efforts support your group's mission?
How can you continue to enhance your programs through fundraising?
By evaluating your goals and experiences your team will receive positive
recognition for successful efforts and consider new ways of working
better in the future.
Wishing you a blessed holiday season and happy new year!
To Your Continued Fundraising Success,
