A Year In Fundraising

Last academic year we saw both Primary and Secondary students and
teachers involved in a number of fundraising activities.  A lot of work goes into planning and hosting fundraising events. Our school has a Fundraising Policy to help you organize your fundraising event. Here are 7 steps to help you successfully organise your event and complete the fundraising application.


1. What is the purpose of the event? Before doing anything else, you must decide what the purpose of your event is. The Fundraising Application guides you through identifying your goals for the event. Figuring out these details for your event will depend on knowing what goals you are trying to
achieve.

2. What is your budget? List all the expenses and costs needed to hold the event. Will this money be taken out of the funds raised? Or will it be donated? This is also a question on the Fundraising Application.


3. Who are the people organising the event? On the Fundraising Application

list the names of the people who are responsible for organising and preparing the event. One must be a teacher overseeing the event.

4. Who is your target audience? Is this a fundraising event for the whole school? Or is the event just for Primary or for Secondary?

5. How will you advertise your fundraising event? You must make an advertising poster and include it with your Fundraising Application. You must include ‘when, where and why’ on your poster.

6. Getting your event approved. You must submit a complete Fundraising Application and then wait of it to be approved before you can start advertising your event.

7. The big day. Make sure you have everything set up before the start of your event. After the event, you must count the money raised and complete the Money Raised Form. Give the form and the money to the admissions office.
