Fundraising is a great and creative way
to spend one's time during the summer or spring break. Aside from building a
sense of unity within the community, fundraising gives several multiple causes
that will change other people's lives. Fundraising causes usually range from
charitable to community development causes. Through fundraising, communities
can reach great things such as install accessibility ramps on libraries and
other public establishments, rebuild a park, fund cancer research and provide
necessary medical services to needy people. So, we can say that fundraising is
a significant way to utilize one’s effort and time especially in the time of
crisis. Because fundraisers depend on the count of people supporting it. Those
people can be family members or friends. Here are a few ways in which you can
get your family members and friends involved in your fundraising efforts.
Educate
Yourself
Before you try arranging or
participating in any fundraising event, you must educate yourself about the
cause of the fundraiser. You must familiar with the details of the fundraising
event – what the reason is all about? Which person or organization will benefit
from the proceeds of the fundraiser? And, how this activity will affect the
lives of people who’re involved
.
Be
Ready To Answer The Relevant Questions
If you want to get your family members
involved in Family Fundraising, you
need to satisfy them as you have satisfied yourself. Clarify to them the value
of this cause. Be clear to tell them about the organization or person
benefiting from the proceeds of the fundraiser.
If it is going toward cancer research,
then clarify to them how important cancer research is in the continuing study
to find a cure for this deadlier disease. Also, show them statistics that how
many people are dead with this disease. How important is it to find out the
cure? Remember, facts help people to understand the whole matter and enable
them to envision the effect of what their time and efforts can do.
Encourage
Charity
Karma is a simple rule that shows you
what comes around goes around. Doing
a little effort to someone will come to you one day, especially if you're doing
it out of humility. Getting your family involved in Family Fundraising will not only enable them to bond over a great
cause but will also give you a sense of accomplishment.
