The best time for fundraising often depends on your target audience and the nature of your campaign. Historically, November and December are popular times due to the holiday-giving spirit. However, the beginning of the school year or during special events and anniversaries can also be opportune times to help budget for the school year. High school teams and groups also take advantage of the slower summer days to get their students raising funds to support needs for the upcoming season.
If you plan on hosting multiple fundraisers, you should also spread them out throughout the year so as not to exhaust your donor base. For example, if you plan to sell products during the holidays, have your direct donation fundraiser at the beginning of the year.
