Yes I do frequently. Earlier this year I actually purchased a small % of a charity fundraising company. I became hands more hands on recently as it is work I actually enjoy. What type of fundraiser are you involved in?

Did a Vendors Day, charged $75 a table, got 33 Vendors which got us almost $2500. Plus we sold Bake goods which the Parents brought in, along with Bottle Water $1 a bottle, and Can Soda also $1
I think in total we pulled in $3800 for the day

raised 100k for Musco Lights on a 90 ft diamond

mostly corporate sponsors, lots of help

we even found a commercial electrical company to donate equipment and the local electric company donated equipment and manpower

you have to have a good story to sell, be willing to knock on doors, and let them know how their generosity will be publicized


(plaques at the school, newspaper announcements, names on uniforms....)

if anyones needs some tips, pointer, ideas etc feel free to PM me. The company I invested in is a fundraising directory. Works similar to 1-800 dentist.... Schools and Charities of all sizes contact them for support and they will connect them to fundraising programs, items, sponsorships etc
