Ideas for raising money?

Asked by Wiki User

That would depend on what you need the money for. If it is for the purchase of consumer goods which you can easily do without, then it would be better to save the money you require. By saving it, you pay no interest on the purchase of a depreciating item.

If it's for a business start up, you can take your business plan to a bank and try to get a loan. (Good luck with that!)

Or you could seek out a venture capitalist and pitch your idea to them.(They'll want an arm and a leg and three pints of your blood.)

You could approach family members for start up money. (Probably the best bet)

You coud sell shares to interested individuals who might want to invest in your business. (Try to get them to be silent partners - no voting rights on how you run your business.)

Those are a few ideas for raising capital off the top of my head.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Let's face it, we are in hard

economic times. Although,

there's evidence that the

economy is making a come-

back.

Still, some people are making

money by starting their own

businesses.

Take what you like to do and

turn it into a business.

Do you bake? Care for children?

Take it to the next level. Ask people

who enjoy your baked goods if he/she

would like to purchase them on a

regular basis. Offer catering services.

Do research to learn about catering.

Charge a fee for caring for children.

Later, look into opening a day-care

center.

Any hobby can develop into a business.

By utilizing ASN's site, you will find literally thousands of high quality gifts that are perfect for the constant gift giving occasions that constantly arise. Mother's day, Father's day, Birthday's, Christmas, Anniversaries, Graduations, etc, 20% of the total of every purchase your members make from this site.

What do you do?

Just send a sample email like the one contained in this link, (except it will automatically have YOUR ASN ID encoded in the letter), and then mail or email it to your membership.

Give this Opportunity to other organizations. Once you have satisfied yourself that this is of benefit not just for you, but for your entire membership, you can offer this same Fund Raising Opportunity to any other organization that you are choose.

If you choose to do so, you will receive approximately 5% of the retail amounts on anything purchased by the members of that organization.

How do you offer it to other Fund Raisers?

What about a Coffee fundraiser?

Specialty coffee and beverages are an exploding market nationwide and it practically sells itself. Java Joe's Roasting Company is an upstate New York based coffee roaster, who specializes in fundraising. Organizations will realize a profit of $2.50 or more per bag sold. The products will be customized to promote your organization (free of charge) and there are no set up fees or minimums. This fundraising program is equitable and offers your supporters a first class practical product that is perfect for every day use. Good luck Rachel! I hope I was able to help.

p.s. My son's preschool made $2,496 during a 2 week campaign.

If you are interested, the website is www.javajoesroasting.com

First of all, congrats on getting your fundraising started! Raising support for a worthy cause can be super rewarding.

One route you might want to consider is setting up a homepage for your group on a fundraising website.

Raising support online is much simpler and more tidy than raising funds via cash or check (most sites can link donations straight to your bank account through a merchant processor). And having a group page gives you a central place to post information, photos and let people know what you do - this helps you promote your cause to friends, family and whoever else you want.

There are plenty of sites these days that help groups meet their goals - here are some good options:

First Giving (www.firstgiving.com) is a solid one. They charge about 5% on donations raised and have a simple structure to set up your page (though you may have to be a certified non-profit to register with them).

If that's the case, another option is Empowered (www.empowered.org). They process about 3.5% on donations raised, offer lots of tools to help organize/fundraise, and I know they support all small groups, regardless of non-profit status.

And you could always try to send up your own PayPal account to link to you directly, but this is a little trickier and a bit inflexible.

Good luck getting your fundraising going

How do you get a fundraising license?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To begin fundraising there isn't a specific license.

However, there is a professional certification available through the American Fundraising Professionals.

For some types of fundraising a license or permit is needed. For example, bingo and raffle fundraisers may require approval, registration or license from the state and municipality. Always check with state and local laws before proceeding with these types of fundraisers.

If you are doing door-to-door, telephone fundraising, or asking for change on the street (like the firefighters do for MDA) you may need a solicitation license from the city.

What are some school sport fundraising ideas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Try an ongoing fundraiser like selling laundry detergent. Sweat X is a sport detergent that teams can sell and receive $2 back for each bottle sold. They set up a website and people can order online - which means you don't need to collect any money. If 50 members sell 10 bottles each, the team would earn $1000. The best part is that the people who buy the detergent will most likely buy it again and you will keep earning money each time it's bought!
