Team brainstorming -
Where to fundraise

Firstly contemplate on areas of fundraising.
  1. Companies
  2. Trusts
  3. Schools
  4. Health & Fitness Centres
  5. Pubs
  6. Sports Arenas
  7. Social Clubs
  8. Any other places where people congregate. Can you think of any other places?
It is important torecognise that we cannot tap into all of the above unless there is a large team. If you come from a small organisation, you may find that it is necessary to become a bit more specialised.

Remember it is important to

a) become better at a few things rather than only reasonably good at many.  This will allow you to develop proper relationships that will lead to more continued donor support,

b) gain knowledge of your donors and so you know where to expend your energy.

There is a reason why experts talk about 20% of your donors giving 80% of your income. Each member of the team should be able to pinpoint there own 20% because this will lead to proper use of time and energy of the fundraising department.

Please note that people, donors, are never one or two-dimensional. It is therefore important to work across teams to promote chances to help each other. For example a donor may also be high up in a company and the company fundraiser should have access, if it is appropriate.
