The advice is good for schools, churches, clubs, non-profit organizations, etc who want success in all their fundraisers.
Fund raising is a vital part of an organizations life.
Have a specific goal for each fundraiser, remind yourself and your volunteers of that goal, and promote it to the community. Assign an organized person to serve as fund-raising chair. Hire a professional fund raising company AND listen to their advice. Select a fundraising program with a good service package that fits your needs. Make sure the fund raising product you're selling represents a good value at a fair price.
