Raise Funds Like a Pro
1. Create a plan and a back-up plan: Strategize.
Be Inventive.
2. Start early: Do not procrastinate
3. Educate your donors
· About the Mount Diablo
Challenge
· About Save Mount Diablo and
it’s efforts to save the mountain
· About memberships to Save Mount
Diablo for donations of $35 or more
4. Make potential donors aware of the benefits of
contributing.
· A chance to save a mountain
· Make a difference
· A tax deductible contribution
5. Follow through: Send reminders to potential
donors.
6. Recruit volunteers: They will help you raise
funds.
· Friends, family members,
co-workers and significant others can be a great help in soliciting
donations and spreading the word about your efforts.
7. Give back to donors.
· Wear their logo, bake them
cookies, throw a victory party in their honor, send a personalized thank
you letter with a picture of you finishing the race.
8. Ask BIG before going small: Think corporate
and big money
· Suggest higher levels of
giving. Most people won’t do it, but there will be one or two who will
because you asked.
9. Stay positive. Keep a good attitude. Remember the
cause.
· Fundraising comes with a lot
of "No’s." Forget those and keep going for the "Yes’s." Plan for this so
it doesn’t take you by surprise.
10. Just ASK, ASK, ASK
