Fundraising Check List- To make sure your next fundraising event runs smooth use our check list to prepare!

1- Does everyone know their responsibilities? This is very important for each participant to know what he or she is needed to do. Collect orders, money, customer information, ect.

2- Does every one understand what payment methods are accepted? This is very important. Each company is different so be sure to check with your fundraising rep to verify payments accepted. In most cases checks are made payable to the organization and once the fundraiser is over 1 check is given to the fundraising company.

3- Does everyone have order forms, brochures, ect? Making sure everyone is well stocked is also very important! You do not want to run out of order forms or brochures! So, make sure you set some extras to the side for anyone that may need additional supplies.

4- Has someone been appointed to handle the money? It is a good idea to have 1 or 2 people handle the money. Instead of 40 different people. This will make keeping track of totals and profits much easier.

5- Does everyone know the start and ending date? Making sure everyone knows the correct dates are very important! You don't want to lose any profit from a later order. It is also a good idea to set your end date a day earlier than the actual end date. This will allow time for those late orders!

6- Is everyone excited and ready to get started on your goal? Everyone's excitement is vital for a successful fundraiser! If they are excited and ready to get started they will normally do much better!
