AUDITING YOUR POSSIBLE FUND-RAISING RESOURCES
Make a comprehensive list of any resources that your organisation has that you may be able to call on for your future fund-raising activity.
Do this BEFORE deciding on your activity, or program. The process of thinking hard and freely about any available resources will help you make a large list unfettered by the limitations that would ensue if you had already decided definitely on any particular activity or program.
Resources or lack of them are one or the KEY reasons why some fund-raising activities fall or run into problems.
Looking at all available resources first will help you chose a fund-raising activity which is compatible with these resources, and also make those involved realise that there are more resources around that could be incorporated into the fund-raising activity than they imagined. This gives confidence to participants, and adds viability to the future fund-raising activity.
SUMMARY: Try to use resources that your
organisation already has.
It is more productive to activate those who have already had contact with your
organisation than to recruit new contacts.
