Don’t Be Shy To Tell Your Story When Fundraising

fundraising, fundraising tips, Tell your story when you fundraise.

Everyone out there who is trying to fundraise and is shy about telling your story when you fundraise, here are some tips so you can make your fundraiser more successful. You’re raising money for your cause, great but what is it about your cause that is the heart of the matter? What is it that emotionally appeals to your donor? Remember people connect to stories. Some people we at The Ultimate Fundraiser have worked with are hesitant to divulge the true cause for which they’re fundraising.

Fundraising Support

Be sincere and share your story, people will connect and empathize with you. Your cause matters to you that’s why you’re fundraising, so when you tell your story put your heart into it, show that it matters and why. Stay away from complicated things that do not appeal to the senses. Most people go through bad times in their lives and will be able to sympathize with you during your time of misfortune and will want to contribute to you cause.

fundraiser2

People are also more sympathetic to sudden changes in an otherwise average person’s life than a chronic condition in another’s life, for example, they relate better with you if your house burns down and you lose your home than if you’d been homeless for the past five years. So, people, please share your story and let people know the true reason for your fundraiser.

Fundraising Tip: Involve The Community In Your Fundraising Effort

fundraising tips, Involve community in fundraising, leveraging community in fundraising

Whatever type of fundraising you use, remember the best results come from reaching out to everyone in your community, use it’s resources in terms of people and money that they are able to contribute to your fundraiser. There are several ways you can get the community involved.

Community

Reach out to volunteers and donors in the community to help you promote your fundraiser, not only will they spread the word and get you great PR but will also get you more donors and volunteers. Here in Hawaii, recruit every aunty, uncle and tutu you know to help with your cause, most are glad to help, you just have to ask. Get local businesses involved, for example, if you’re having an event they could donate silent auction items. Make it as easy as possible for people in the community to get involved, the fewer the steps you put in front of them to help out the better the results. And of course utilize social media networks to promote your cause, it has never been as easy as it is in this day and age. Be transparent with the community that has your back, keep them updated, let them know how you did and how the funds were utilized.

Everyone in the community that has helped with the fundraiser is a valuable asset and a part of your extended ohana/family, so don’t forget to send thank you cards and show your appreciation for their contribution.

Kiva & Kopernik – Lending Platforms for Social Change

Today we’d like to focus on a couple of cool lending platforms that are doing a lot of social good. Whatever the method, in the end it’s about raising funds and helping make the world a better place, if this is the path for you then read on…

Kiva.com is a platform where lenders loan small amounts of money to people across the globe, which helps them achieve their dreams or at least gives them a push towards it. The people you help do not have access or are not in a position to qualify for a regular loan. You get periodic updates about your loan and repayments as they become available. So sign up and lend someone a helping hand. You can make a big difference with just $25!

p.s. worldvisionmicro.org/loans – is another company that facilitates micro lending.

kopernik.info – There are three prongs to this crowd sourcing platform – first, they source technology designed for the developing world. Disadvantaged communities around the world discover these much-needed products through the website, catalogues and fairs and write a proposal for what they need the most. Kopernik then publishes select projects on the website for funding. Donors fund these projects and the people at Kopernik ships the technology to the communities in need (to the far corners of the world or the last mile), where people are able to buy the products at an affordable price from local partners. The local partners repay money from the sales to Kopernik and they reinvest it in more technology.

Kopernik works with partners within each community and receives feedback regarding the impact of technology and posts photos and info on the website and let donors know what’s going on. Feedback is shared with technology producers so they can make the best technology for the developing world. What kopernik is doing is commendable, the world needs more koperniks!

Here in the US we take clean safe water for granted and the average person uses over 570 liters of water a day! Compare this to a world where 768 million people do not have access to clean safe water, which is one in ten people. People have to walk miles just to get water from a dirty pond, if not rely on expensive water vendors. Women in Africa and Asia often carry water on their heads weighing 20kg (44lbs) (UNDP: Human Development Report, 2006) and spend hours a week fetching this basic necessity for the household, oftentimes children are involved in this endeavor too. Time and energy spent on fetching water negatively impacts people’s life in other areas like earning potential and education in the  case of children. On top of everything else, unsafe drinking water results in water-borne disease killing 2000 children a day.

Thankfully, organizations like WaterAid are trying to tackle this problem and last year they were able to provide 1.7 million people with safe water, please help bring clean water to children around the world, help fundraiser for this cause and donate  at: http://www.wateraid.org  These guys are doing a great job!

Also, we in the need to make an effort to not waste water and help in water conservation, but that’s a topic for another blog.

Doing Good: Teach for America

Every child in America irrespective of his or her socio-economic status deserves access to a great education. Unfortunately this is not so as low-income kids don’t have the same access to a great education as their wealthier peers according to Teach For America. Their mission is to eliminate educational inequality by developing leaders that will help close the gap. Teach for America recruits individuals to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools. These individuals are trained so they have a positive impact on their students and Teach for America also fosters leadership of alumni to address this problem.

The Teach for America corps are united by a shared vision that one day all children in this nation will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. “In the 2013-14 school year, 11,000 corps members will reach more than 750,000 students while 32,000 alumni will continue to deepen their impact as educational leaders and advocates.”

IMG_4586

According to the Associated Press Teach for America has been in Hawaii since 2006 helping the Department of Education fill a teacher shortage in areas that need it the most. This year they will lose $1 million in state funding which sad to say, will hamper efforts to support much-needed teachers in struggling schools. Teach for America will have to cut the number of teachers that come to Hawaii by half this year. This is not going to help a school system, that is, to put it lightly not the best in the country. Quality education needs to be a priority for the state and country, and shouldn’t even be considered when budget cuts are being made considering how important the role of education is in providing a better future for the individual and the community as a whole. Perhaps we should mobilize a massive fundraiser for Hawaii’s schools to help provide quality education to every child irrespective of their socio-economic status. All, ideas and thoughts are welcome.

Pacific Tsunami Museum, Hilo, Hawaii

On our recent trip to Hilo, Hawai‘i to launch a fundraiser, we visited the Pacific Tsunami Museum, coincidently, it was April 1, the anniversary of the big 1946 Tsunami – the deadliest recorded in the islands history, when there was also a Tsunami advisory because of the earthquake in Chile.

Tsunami is a Japanese word which means harbor wave, don’t be confused tho’, it is not a tidal wave since they are not caused by waves. They can happen anytime of the year and are generated by the displacement of water triggered by a seismic event. Don’t be foolish and surf the tsunami waves, stay away from the beach and ocean. Tsunamis can travel at speeds ranging from 450-500 miles per hour and can impact coastlines for hours. The waves can come ashore as a wall of water, a rapidly rising tide or a series of surf-like breakers. In Hawai‘i tsunami’s have killed more people than hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions combined. If you’re a Hilo-based business, this pdf provides instructions on what to do in case of a Tsunami – http://www.tsunami.org/pdf/Business_Guide.pdf. Let’s educate ourselves and learn from history so we’re not taken by surprise.

Create a petition or support a petition at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions. This a website that allows you to engage the government on issues that are closest to you. You can sign up and start a petition if your issue is not an active petition yet, and if it is, then all you’ve got to do is add your signature. If your issue meets the maximum number of signatures or signature threshold, the administration will issue a response. So take action and add your signature to issues that matter to you.

So people please support a petition that is open, create an account and add your signatures so it reaches the signature threshold in order for the administration to issue a response.

Here’s a Hawaii petition that we at The Ultimate Fundraiser are supporting:

“Facilities funding has been a long-standing issue for charter schools in Hawaii. Start-up charter schools have paid the costs of their facilities from their limited operational funds since 2000. This year charter schools received about $6,000 per pupil while Department of Education schools receive an average of about $12,000 per pupil. The state public charter school commission is currently planning a facilities pilot project for the allocation of funds to various charter schools for small-scale facilities projects based, in part, on the “need and performance” of the charter schools. The commission has allocated $680,000 of 2013 federal impact aid to this pilot program despite an Attorney General opinion that federal impact aid funds cannot be used for this purpose.”

It can be found at: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/ensure-equal-funding-charter-schools-promised-state-hawaiis-race-top-grant/B2xg2CX2

Take action! 99580 more signatures to go!

we the people

Fundraising Profit % Does NOT Matter!!!

Fundraising % Does NOT Matter!

Fundraising % Does NOT Matter!

If you take a look at these numbers above, also add in that where most fundraisers have about a 10%-30% sales rate, we have an 80%-90% sales rate to our customers. So, not only are our overall sales higher, but our average sales per customer are over $33 per person. So, when doing your next fundraiser really consider if that higher percentage is really worth it and if you feee biggest misconception in fundraising, is that the higher your profit % (or profit margin), the more money you make during your fundraiser. Yes, you might make a higher percentage, but that doesn’t mean you raise more money overall. Many people think that if they have higher percentage on the product you sell, the easier it will be to reach your fundraising goals. That simply isn’t true. In fact, it is exactly the opposite.

Yes, it may seem enticing to hear a high percentage return on your sales, but what that usually means, is that the product price must be raised in order to make that large amount of profit. Most fundraising companies take products and double the price so you can make a 40%, 50%, or even higher profit margin. Very few products have this type of profit margin in the everyday business world, much less in the fundraising world. And most fundraising products are food which are even more impossible to see those type of product margins without raising the price substantially.

Do NOT Increase Prices!

Do NOT Increase Prices!

You have to remember, that most organizations who get fundraising products are getting them from a vendor, who gets them from another vendor, who gets them from another vendor. By the time it’s all said and done, the money has to pass through 3, 4, 5 hands and maybe more before you sell those products to the customers who end up using or consuming the products. Very few people, organizations or companies get the products from the direct source and food especially, has the smallest profit margin.

So, we will go over the BEST way to make/raise the most amount of money in a fundraiser. Here at The Ultimate Fundraiser, we are Revolutionizing fundraising and turning the old boring fundraising model and flipping it on its head! How are you doing this you ask???

How You Ask???

How You Ask???

First, we are not taking just one or two products and using them in a fundraiser. We are using 5, 6 or 7 products in our fundraiser to give the customers more variety and options. Be careful though, anymore than that, you will just complicate the process and even worse, make it confusing for your customers. Second, we are using products from the same state and the same area the fundraiser is being done. People love to buy local products and support their own community. Third, we utilizing products that have a long shelf life so that the customers can buy in bulk without worrying about spoilage. And fourth, most importantly, we are LOWERING our product prices. Not only do we lower our product prices, we lower our prices so much, that our prices are even better than all the other local grocery stores! Why do we do this you ask???

Why You Ask???

Why You Ask???

In this day and age, people are used to buying over-priced fundraising products knowing that even though they can go down the street and get it cheaper at their local store, they are buying just to support the cause. Most of the time they might only buy one or two items max just to be nice, or even a lot of people just decide not to buy. This then decreases your odds of selling and heavily decreases your sales. So, no matter how high your profit margin is, if you can only sell a few of those products, you won’t be making very much money. Also, you are technically “ripping off” your family, friends and customers that are buying from you. And remember, if you are doing one fundraiser for school, church, a charity, a sports team or a family member, odds are that you will be doing more fundraisers and asking the same exact people you asked before. And believe me, they will remember the products you sold before, the prices AND how many times you have asked them to buy.

So, let’s turn that model on its head and please while you are reading this, think about not only the way your family, friends and customers will feel, but also yourself when we try to change the way you look at fundraising…

Change Fundraising!

Change Fundraising!

Let’s take our (The Ultimate Fundraiser’s) model of fundraising. Instead of taking a product and doubling the price or even raising the price to increase your profit margin, what would happen if you lowered the price. Not only a little, but more than enough to beat any of the local stores in your area, no matter what the product may be. Let’s take a normal average fundraising product that normally costs $7 in the store and that you would get wholesale for $3.50 and would normally sell in your fundraiser for $8-$10. Yes, you may make 40%, 50%, or maybe even more, but how many people would actually you know would buy it? And not only how many people would buy it, but how much would each person buy?

Like I said before, most people won’t buy and even if you are a good salesman and you get a lot of people to buy, they will usually only buy one or two items. BUT, what happens if you took that item and sold it for $5 to your customers and were able to GUARANTEE that you have the very BEST price for that product. Sure you may make a smaller profit margin overall, but A LOT more people will buy from you and more importantly, they will buy A LOT more than just one or two items! Wouldn’t you? Also, when they realize that they are getting a quality product at the very BEST price, they will buy it in bulk! On top of that, the next time you see them to hit them up for your next fundraiser, they will not only be happy to buy, but they will buy even more product than the last time!

Buy More, Save More!!!

Buy More, Save More!!!

If you would like proof, here at The Ultimate Fundraiser, we sell an average of 5-10 times more of our product than any other fundraiser in the country! Not only that, we help raise an average of 5-10 times more than any other fundraiser too!

Other Fundraisers
Average Sale Per Member:  $30
Profit Percentage: $30 x 40% = $12
Profit Percentage: $30 x 50% = $15

TUF
Average Sale Per Member: $333
Profit Percentage: $333 x 30% = $100
***Avg 5-10 Times The Profit!!!***

Make 5-10 Time More $$$!!!

Make 5-10 Time More $$$!!!

If you take a look at these numbers above, also add in that where most fundraisers have about a 10%-30% sales rate to their customers, we have an 80%-90% sales rate to our customers. So, not only are our overall sales higher AND more than 3 times as many people buy our product, but our average sales per customer are over $33 per person. The bottom line with our model, not only is it much easier to sell our product, but you will sell an incredible amount more overall and make A LOT MORE MONEY! And remember WHY you are doing fundraising in the first place…To raise the MOST amount of money and to do it in the EASIEST way possible. Our model covers both of those reasons and MANY more!

So, when doing your next fundraiser really consider if you feel comfortable selling that over-priced product to your family and friends. More importantly, really take a look at what you’re are selling your product for and weigh out your odds on making the most amount of money possible in the shortest amount of time. And remember, YOU ALWAYS have a choice.
