Why Would Someone NOT Donate to Your Organization?by Sandra Sims
You are there, working hard to support your group because you believe in the cause. Being driven and focused on the mission of your organization is vitally important to your success. However, sometimes our focus leads us to forget that in fundraising, like so many other areas of life, we must always take into consideration the “other person’s point of view” (POV.)
Holiday Fundraising Events
>> Murder Mystery Party - This is great for Halloween. It's pretty easy to put together as you can get the complete how-to kits online. >> Chocolate Brunch - Many people like chocolate and sweets in general. You can have a chocolate brunch (or buffet) that is sure to draw a crowd. >> Trivia Night - This is a success story from my women's club. We've actually held another trivia night since then and will be planning another one next year (it's an annual event!)
School Fundraising IdeasSchool related groups may still be in need of a fundraiser before the end of the year, or be ready to plan for spring. Here are a few school fundraising ideas... >> School Partners with Symphony for Fundraiser - A great story about a school partnering with the symphony to raise funds. >> School Carnival Ideas - It's fall carnival time for many schools! Get some ideas and order supplies for your carnival. >> Sales Fundraising Options for Schools - Includes holiday gift catalogs and boxed chocolates to help schools with their fundraising needs.
Blog Contest
There will be a random drawing for an Amazon Gift Certificate from among all the bloggers that vote. Last day to enter is October 23rd! >> Find out more about this contest Coming Soon...Are you planning an auction event? If so the new Step by Step Fundraising Guide to Silent Auctions could be just for you. Plus we're also publishing a guide to creating great Auction Baskets and other packages for any type of auction!

You
have a great cause, so everyone should be beating down your
door with donations, right? Oh, if only that were only the case!
Fundraising can be a challenge for any group even those with the
greatest mission and dedicated workers.
Do
you have a small group that would like to put together a fun fundraiser
between now and the end of the year? Many groups already have holiday
parties and there are several ways that you can add in a fundraiser.
These fun ideas can also add some new excitement to an annual event.
