Posted on 07/02/2009Probably the smartest move you can make when trying to organize a successful school fundraiser is to have a meeting right at the very beginning. Get all the interested parties gathered in one place, and have an open discussion about exactly what sort of monetary goals you're looking at, and how you plan to tackle them. This is also a good time to find out who has what strengths, as this can be instrumental in a successful school fundraiser. For example, one person may be good with numbers, another might be the social type who excels at liaising with teachers and staff, and so forth. Giving people a job they are good at not only makes everyone feel useful, but can really help increase your chances of having a successful school fundraiser.
