Are you exerting huge amounts of effort but you are still left with so much more to do or accomplish? A lot of people often forget a couple of things that need to be done in order for them to reach a particular goal or objective. The same thing is true in thinking and carrying out ideas for fundraising campaigns. With this given fact, it would be a good idea to gather your team or group members for meetings or to carry out different means that will help you in reaching out to communicate with them. Communication is very important especially when you are working with members of the PTA or PTO who have other things to attend to aside from fundraisers. This is perhaps the best reason why you should remind them of your fundraisers.
A poor amount of communication is one of the best reasons why a lot of fundraising campaigns fail to reach their set goals. This means that communicating with the members of the fundraising team on a regular basis is of prime importance if one wishes to get their full cooperation during fundraising events or activities.
Communication is not only important during fundraising activities but in other aspects of life as well. If you take the time to reach out to your members, you can be assured that they will be lending you the assistance that you will need in your projects.
Below are three useful tips that you can choose to employ so that you can be sure that your fundraising team will be reminded or informed about your plans so that they may prepare themselves well when the time comes when your activities will be carried out.
1. Organize PTA/PTO Meetings
If you plan on organizing a PTA or PTO meeting, you may want to assign a speaker for the event. The assigned speaker will deliver the information that you wish to give your team members. In here, be sure that you inform your members of the date of the meeting, weeks before its actual date so that you can ensure that they will be able to attend. You can do so by contacting each one of them through phone calls. In addition to this, you can also try printing out handouts, which will be handed over to the members. This will serve as a guide for them as to what will be discussed during the meeting.
2. Gather More Help
Ask the other members of your school faculty to remind persons that they might have contacts with that you will be carrying out a fundraising event soon.
3. Send Out Emails
You may want to gather the e-mail addresses of your members at the beginning of the year so you can send out mails to them regarding any upcoming fundraising event. I will assure you that most of your members will be glad to give out their email addresses.
