The scheduler is the one who determines which events are worth going to and arranges for a trustworthy volunteer to drive accompany the candidate there. Fundraising Fundraising doesn?t have to be scary or horrible if you plan well and set achievable goals. You?ll raise enough money to run the campaign and avoid sending yourself to the poor house as well. By far the very best way to raise money is for the candidate to go through all available lists, pull the people he knows even vaguely, decide how much money to ask each person for, call them up and ask them for a commitment in a specific amount. Being successful at candidate calls is all about the follow up. You should send a confirmation letter to the donor right away with an envelope for them to send the check. You should then follow up the pledge every two weeks until you get it. Depending on how comfortable your are with this, this is far and away the most money you will make for the investment of time and money required.
