We are doing a fundraiser and it is the first we have ever coordinated in our new business venture. It is has been awesome to date getting to know the business and understanding the skills and attributes needed to run a fundraiser. It seems like a simple concept, helping people to raise money but like anything you want to do well it is anything but simple. What I mean is the amount of decisions required to kick-off a fundraiser is relatively simple, but getting it all to play together takes a level of patience and negotiating skills. There are any number of choices and approaches to coordinating a fundraiser, and while there probably is no wrong answer, the best answers will get you the best results. While you may have the right cause, best product, great sponsor and a goal that will provide a win win for everyone involved it still takes effort, commitment and a willingness to get a few no's along the way.
This fundraiser is for our church.
Our church motto is "Where God's Love Reigns and Dreams do come true"! We are raising money for the church building fund which gone by the name of the Noah's Ark Project, and we are asking everyone to Get on Board with making it happen! It has gone well and allowed me to began understanding and implementing what it takes to run a successful fundraiser. This is only the beginning and I truly believe as in any new business venture the mistakes you make along the way are only mistakes if you don't learn something from them and that it is essential that you always do your best and God will do the rest.
