Fundraising Efforts: Motivating Your Participants
The key to fundraising success is encouraging and motivating your participants. This entails getting both parents and athletes on board! Below are tips for motivating parents and athletes for your next fundraiser. Here are some great tips for motivation:
Start Off on the Right Foot
A great way to get things started is with a fundraising kick-off. A kick-off is a gathering of your group to officially launch the start of your fundraiser. Make this a memorable event by arriving with a positive and energetic attitude. You can even make it into a small party to get things going.
The key to starting off right is all about attitude and energy. Your kick-off will set the tone for your entire fundraiser, so show your team spirit!
Incentives and Prize Programs
Some programs come with free prize programs. These are great motivators to help you succeed, and if you use your imagination, you can organize your own prize and incentive programs as well
– Individual Success: Award prizes for individual achievements.
– Top Sellers: Award prizes to the person, team or classroom that raises the most money, or sells the most items.
– Prize Drawings: Participants can be entered into the prize drawing for selling a pre-determined amount. For example, 10 sales = 1 entry.
– Special Rewards: These are often the most effective motivators. You can offer a party if the group goal is met, have your coaches agree to coach a game in a silly costume, have a pizza lunch for the top selling classroom, or a week of no homework.
