Be
clear about your goal. $50,000
means 50 people raising $1000 or 500 raising $100
or 5000 raising $10 or some similar combination.
At Chimorel, for example, each Board member is
expected to develop $10,000/yr in value.

Be
clear about your message. What
will the funds be used for, specifically. If I
ask you to give to help us solve problems and
achieve goals the message is a little fuzzy. If
you give to help: ...one person go to college,
...someone pay a hospital bill or ...Chimorel
build a recycling center - the message is
clear. |

|
Develop
powerful fund raisers who believe in the cause.
Dynamic,
enthusiastic believers can raise millions to solve
the most horrific problems.
|
|
Do
your homework. Get
your 501(c)(3) and charitable liscense. Know what
regulators and others expect. Know who you will
serve and how. Know who is concerned about the
problem. Know who else is working on the problem
and, where possible, team up with them. Know who
the opposition is.
