| FUNDRAISING FOR STUDENT TRIPS |
| |
|
 |
Find out who wants to participate in
the fundraiser.
And find out how much each student feels they want to raise through
fundraising efforts. Right away, you’ll know who’s more committed
than the others, and you’ll have a good idea of how many people will
be participating in the fundraiser(s).
|
 |
Have the students participate in the decision-making
process. Discuss the various fundraisers with them. A few
factors to consider are whether they feel the product will sell easily
in the area, based on the type of product and the retail price.
|
 |
Set up individual bank accounts for each student.
This will increase motivation drastically. Jim doesn’t want the funds
he raised going to Jack, especially if Jack’s parents have already
agreed to cover 75% of his trip cost. If Jim raises $110 profit on
a given fundraiser, that should go directly into his account.
|
 |
Schedule your fundraisers in advance.
Let the students and their parents know the fundraising schedule (including
deadline dates) for the next 6 months, well in advance. This way,
there’ll be no surprises, and everyone knows what’s coming up.
|
 |
Communicate, Communicate, Communicate!
Get everyone’s email address, and possibly the students’ parents’ as
well, and provide a weekly update on deadline dates, money collected,
upcoming fundraising, etc.
|
 |
Where to sell? Students can encourage
their parents to bring the fundraiser to the office or workplace.
Their colleagues won’t be able to resist! Students can ask their teacher
or principal if they can sell items over lunch, or in the stands during
local school events. If they choose to go door-to-door, students should
always go with a friend or parent.
