No more thinking small – your fundraising can now become a fully integrated, large scale, hugely successful revenue generator for your organization and with less work….
If you are looking for some ideas to address the issues all teams, clubs and groups face in trying to manage the many and often conflicting tasks including fundraising – you’ve come to the right place.
Groups –especially those that are volunteer-driven all face the same issues – trying to first brainstorm to come up with profitable group fundraising ideas. Then, when ideas are implemented, volunteers are needed to manage the fundraising initiatives and secure sponsors and prizes, and at the same time manage registrations, scheduling people (players, coaches, referees, volunteers and group members), making sure everyone gets the right message at the right time, organizing facilities, arranging custom spiritwear or apparel, and the list goes on.
Another common issue is a tight budget. Are there any options other than relying solely on volunteers to come up with fundraising ideas, find sponsors and prizes, get licenses arranged for raffles, ask them to manage the registration process, work out schedules, communicate with parents, coaches, and others to ensure everyone stays up to date and informed?
It can be overwhelming to try and address each of these issues individually. Together they can cause additional challenges for organizers and volunteers who want to help but who don’t have the experience, tools, resources or time to meet all the needs and demands of a team, league or group.
How do you best utilize volunteer time – for fundraising, scheduling, or both? Is there some way a group can accomplish its fundraising goals that won’t cost more than the money raised? Can using software help with team, league and group management by providing solutions for registering team or group members, scheduling team practices and games, tracking players, coaches and referees? What about the challenges of communicating a consistent message? How does a team or group on a tight budget accomplish all this?
It was trying to find a solution to these issues ourselves that resulted in a unique combination of group fundraising ideas, software and custom apparel that allowed a cash-strapped groups to minimize volunteer time on administrative tasks, solve fundraising issues, provide a web portal for scheduling, administrative and communication purposes, and more. We needed a unique solution – and found one that addresses three seemingly separate and distinct challenges facing teams, leagues and groups. HB has brought together group fundraising ideas that reduce stress for organizers, coaches and managers and keep parents in the know – and it is a self-funded solution!
