Making your volleyball team a winner requires dedication, time and money. While the dedication and time are more or less up to the team involved, obtaining the latter is slightly more difficult. At a time when non-profit groups need to raise more money than ever before, proper planning and organization have become the essential aspects of any successful fundraiser. The first thing every fundraiser must have is a clear goal stating how much money needs to be raised, and how these funds will be spent.
Every campaign needs a leader.
Make sure your leader is organized, enthusiastic and most importantly, available. The next important point to consider is the time span of the fundraiser. This should be anywhere from a few days, up to two weeks in length. Also, consider whether you will need space to store inventory, and whether allowance for lost or damaged items will be needed, You must also decide whether a door to door sales campaign is desirable given the weather and the age of your participants, and if not, what the possible alternatives are. With this in mind, determine how many of your team members will be participating in your fundraiser.
