One of the most common questions raised by clubs before COVID 19 “Do you know of any good fundraising ideas?” and the frequency of the question has only grown since then with many traditional fundraisers like Burger Flips, Pancake Breakfasts and in person events being no longer being possible until the pandemic eases. Scroll down for some ideas.NOTE: For more information on the featured fund raisers contact the listed clubs.
Some general tips on fund raising:
- Keep it simple
- Make it fun
- It’s easier to raise money for a specific project or cause than the general term often used by clubs that says “Rotary Causes”
- If the funding is going to another organisation ensure you develop a good relationship with them so you may lever value from the partnership in terms of sharing mailing lists and expertise
- Promote the event/activity at every opportunity
- Consider partnering with other clubs to share costs and increase the reach. If you have a Rotaract or Interact Club, what better than to partner with them and use their creative energies to help re-imagine an old or tired event
- If you are running a draw or lottery ensure you have the appropriate licence and that you complete all the necessary post event returns
- Think creatively on how you take an old idea and re-imagine it in the virtual world
