The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising

The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising

The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising was originally produced in 2008 as a soft cover guide which provided practical ideas and advice for community groups wanting to raise funds. Topics covered in the guide included Getting Started, Planning an Event, Sponsorship, Community Funding and Marketing. It also provided details about running specific events such as discos, gala days, food stalls, raffles, tours, auctions and more.

By the end of 2009, 20,000 FREE copies had been distributed to community groups throughout the country.

Due to the demand for the information contained in the guide, The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising is now available for purchase on CD. Click here to find out more.

Collection Buckets
Gone are the days when door-to-door appeals made tens of thousands of dollars because many people do not have spare change to toss in the bucket. However, collection appeals can still work, provided you do them at the right place and at the right time. Target your collection appeal to a specific event where you have a captive audience with loose change in their pocket.

Pub collections are also a great idea. Put yourself in fancy dress and, with the bar owner's permission, ask patrons for a donation. The alcohol usually loosens the wallet and once one person gives, all their friends will follow.
