- New Website Look & Your Comments

Have you ever held a golf outing to raise funds for your cause? This is a fundraising vehicle that has been around for many years. While it is still a good way to raise funds many charities are finding that they need to "update" this event.

Maybe you could call it "Charity Golf 2.0" - golf outings that incorporate technology (such as online auctions), offer something for the non-golfers, more ways for participants to win prizes (and for you to raise funds) and are more efficiently run.

Stay tuned this month as Jim Berigan brings us a series of articles about golf outings. This series will be published every Wednesday during the month of July. The first article in this series is featured below.

Three Important Steps to Planning a Charity Golf Outing

by Jim Berigan

One of the most common non-profit fundraisers is the golf outing. The main reason why this method has become so popular is that it combines the benefits of having fun, getting exercise, and raising lots of money for the organization.

There are many “moving parts” that you have to consider when you plan your own golf outing. If you get any one of these parts out of order, or if you skip one all together, you will be missing huge opportunities to have a top-notch fundraising event.

New Website Design - What do you think?

Recently we here at Step by Step Fundraising have been finishing up the new design for this site. You may notice that the logo and our color scheme is basically the same. The goal behind this change is to make it easier for you to find the information you are looking for. We’ve changed the horizontal navigation at the top and added a few features.

I would like to thank our designers Adii and Magnus for their great design work and kind assistance. A special thanks also goes to Tracie who is still working on some of the tweaks.

So what do you think? If you have a moment, visit the site and see what you think. Please let us know of any suggestions, questions, or (gasp) errors. Leave a comment or for a private reply you can use our contact form.

Thank you!

To Your Continued Fundraising Success,
