We have helped hundreds of
groups raise significant amounts of cash -- in most cases, thousands of dollars.
Let YourFundingPoint
Help You with Your Next Fundraiser!
Below, you
will find our three-step process with tips, guidance and techniques to help you
conduct a well-structured, successful and enjoyable fundraising campaign
-- and one that meets your goals for your group's funding in a very short time
and with minimal effort.
|
Determine Your Goals |
|
Your first step is to decide how much you need to earn, to
identify your other goals, and to review your previous fundraisers for
“lessons-learned.” Your knowledge of your membership strengths will guide
this process:
 |
How much money does your group need to
raise? |
|
When do you plan to start your
fundraiser? |
|
When do you need your funds?
|
|
How many members will be involved in the
campaign? |
|
Who will serve as campaign chairperson?
|
|
How would you rate the
success of your previous fundraisers? |
In the YourFundingPoint program, a good estimate of
your return is to assume that each member of your group will sell an average
of three magazine subscriptions -- that’s $30 earned per member! The
program runs quickly, it pays you quickly, and it is very easy for an
individual person to administer, from start to finish. You may conduct
campaigns as often as you wish, but we recommend an annual or biannual
campaign
schedule in order to maximize your results.
|
|
Run Your
Campaign |
|
Once you have selected the
YourFundingPoint program and set your start date, we will deliver your
campaign kit with precise timing to allow you to distribute sales materials
and communicate the program
fundamentals to your membership, and to bring them through the program in
just two weeks time. This is a very simple process:
| distribution of member sales
materials and magazine brochures; members create "prospect" lists and
selling starts |
| after one week of selling:
assessment, coaching, and encouragement; interim collection of funds |
| after two weeks of selling:
collection of magazine sales orders and all funds from members; campaign
close |
Your
campaign should only cover a period of two weeks of active selling. A short
campaign allows your members to focus on their goals. Your knowledge
of your community will help you set your group's campaign goals and to
advise them on how best to use this program. We recommend that your
members approach family members, friends, and their very immediate neighbors
-- people they know and trust. We have also found that groups of
members can easily set up a stand in front of a willing place of business,
like a grocery, or sell to the crowd at meets and practices. |
|
Close Your
Campaign |
|
Once you have collected the magazine sales
orders and cash from your members, you'll need to devote only a couple of
hours to administration in order to close the campaign and deliver your
orders to us so that we can submit your magazine orders.
| carefully count the
magazine orders on each sheet, and then in total for your membership |
| complete a short tally sheet for your
group, using our provided form. |
| multiply the total
magazine orders by $10 and write a check to YourFundingPoint in
that amount |
| send us the
original magazine sales sheets and your check in a prepaid mailer |
Then you're done!
When we receive your closing package, we will process the orders and submit
them to the individual magazine publishers for fulfillment to your magazine
customers. Their first copies will arrive in four to eight weeks,
depending on specific publishing schedules. We will also determine if
any of your members qualify for the incentive prizes, and mail them to you
for presentation to the members at an upcoming meeting.
You may conduct campaigns as often as you wish, but we
recommend an annual or biannual campaign
schedule in order to maximize your results. |

YourFundingPoint Program Incentives |
|
Member-motivation is an important part of
any successful fundraising campaign, and the YourFundingPoint
program includes three incentive prizes to help you maximize magazine sales
and keep the campaign challenging for your membership.
| The 5-Sale Bonus:
any and all members who sell five subscriptions will be entered in our
Grand Prize Drawing |
| The Top-Seller
Bonus: for the single member with the highest sales: a $100 gift
check |
| The Grand Prize:
all 5-Sale and Top-Seller winners are entered in an annual drawing to win
one of five $1000 U.S. Savings Bonds |
You may
want to add your own incentives, and these
are often the most
effective ones! For example, have your coaches agree to coach a game
in a silly costume, or promise to treat the group to a special outing as a
reward for a "job well done." Whatever you decide to do, you'll have
our proven sales incentives as a start, and you'll find that the
YourFundingPoint program materials are designed to simplify your
campaign and allow your members to concentrate on their goals and to succeed
at their campaign. |
Please Contact Us
We've had
groups of 100 members earn over $3500 in just 2 weeks! And this money is
available instantly, as soon as the subscriptions are sold. There is no
investment required on your behalf.
