Fundraising Tips -- Shaking the Money Tree for MS
Make Two Lists
- The A List includes the "shoe-ins" People you are certain will help you like family and close friends.
- The B List: those you are less sure about including friends, acquaintances, neighbors, business contacts and personal vendors (hairdresser or barber, dry cleaner, doctor, dentist, CPA, or lawyer).
- Start with the A List. You'll gain confidence this way. Can you raise $500 this way? Are there 5 people who will each give you $100?
- Remember. Every so often you can raise half or ALL of your goal with one or two well-placed requests to a local business, your community group or your employer.
