Fundraising Basics and Tips

  • The hardest part of getting a donation is asking.

  • You will never get a donation if you don't ask!

  • It is very important who asks for the donation - it should always be the person closest to the donor.

  • Always try to present the story of who you are helping.

  • Create a lot of publicity for your events - and make a lot of noise about it. Talk to your friends about it, put posters up, make sure everyone at least knows of what you're doing.

  • If you show people you really care about the cause, they will be more inclined to support you.

  • Be able to tell people where exactly their money will go - and how much everything costs for the student.

  • Make sure to always make big posters and banners to have at your event or fundraiser - a giant Educate! banner at a bake sale will definitely attract lost of attention.
