THE FUNDRAISING WHO, HOW, OVERVIEW WHEN’S OF FUNDRAISING<br />
Opportunities are everywhere. Start with those people that you are most comfortable with and<br />
soon you’ll be a pro at raising funds. You may want to start with your:<br />
Family and relatives<br />
Friends and acquaintances<br />
Coworkers and colleagues<br />
Businesses you frequent<br />
Email – One of the most efficient paths of connecting with your donors is through your active.com<br />
account; send them an email with a link to your fundraising webpage where they will be able to<br />
make an online donation.<br />
Letters – If sending an email is not an option, write a letter. Include a pledge form and return<br />
envelope to encourage your recipient to donate. A sample template is provided in this resource<br />
packet.<br />
Phone Calls – A follow up phone call is a wonderful way to make sure your requests have been<br />
received. A personal touch may be all that is needed to get that donation.<br />
Social Media – Post a link on Facebook and/or Twitter to your active.com fundraising page.<br />
Create a buzz and soon all of your friends will be lining up to support you!<br />
It’s always a good idea to start early so people have ample time to donate. This also provides you<br />
time to follow up with those you ask and enough time to reach your fundraising goal.<br />
Team <strong>Phoenix</strong> does not have a fundraising requirement, but<br />
we do suggest setting a goal $500 per event.
