Plan your next fundraiser:

Who's going to do all that work? Your fundraising committee; but first you need to form one. This checklist walks you through the process and tracks your progress along the way.

You need volunteers, plain and simple. Use this checklist to decide who to target, how to reach them, record what efforts have been made, and pick up a few tips about recruiting fundraiser volunteers.

 

>> "Fundraising Event MASTER PLANNER"

This planning guide outlines all the jobs that need to be done to run an event fundraiser, and gives you space to record essential information (like who is handling what, budget information, and more).

 

Market your fundraiser:

>> "MARKETING Your Fundraiser"

No fundraiser can succeed if people don't know about it. This checklist outlines the best fundraiser marketing strategies and serves as a record for what has been and is yet to be done.

 

Manage your fundraiser:

Timing is everything for a successful fundraiser. Use this checklist to help you plan and schedule and keep all aspects of your fundraiser on schedule; use it to plan future campaigns to see where scheduling adjustments should be made.

 

>> "Fundraiser CALLS and REMINDER - Checklist"

Many calls need to be made to organize volunteer staff and get your fundraiser moving. This checklist helps you keep track of them all. It can also serve as a useful reference for future campaigns.

 

Evaluate your fundraiser:

>> "EVALUATE Your Completed Fundraiser - Post-Fundraiser Checklist "

This checklist is designed as an evaluation tool and record-keeper. It gives you a place to record critical information about individual fundraisers, both good and bad, so that you can evaluate the value and use as future reference (for yourself or newcomers).

 

Miscellaneous:

>> "Forming A NON-PROFIT - Checklist"

There are a lot of steps to form a legal non-profit organization; this fundraiser walks you through this process and serves as record for the work that needs to be done.

These checklists come in handy as a communication tool among your fundraising volunteers, when more than one fundraising team is involved, or the fundraising team changes every year, as is the case in many schools. Save completed and blank fundraising checklists where current and incoming volunteers can easily find them.

We wish you great success with your fundraising event!
