Posted on 01/29/2010The problem is, if you don't have a lot of experience with organizing a fundraising effort, the idea of having all that responsibility can be a little bit overwhelming. After all, the team is looking to you to help solve their financial problems, right?
You want to make the best of this opportunity, and you want to show them that you can come through with the goods.
Softball fundraising is really not as difficult as you think, and with a few good pointers, you'll be on your way to a successful fundraiser in no time.
Step one is to assess your needs. Be as specific as possible. "We need lots of money" is not nearly good enough. Sit down with coaches and administrators and work out exactly how much it costs to run the team, and how much of that the fundraiser is expected to cover. Knowing exactly where your target is can be the most important factor in making sure that you hit it, so if you want your softball fundraisers to start out right, get your expectations as accurate as possible.
Step two is choosing the right fundraising ideas to make your goals a reality.
