Fundraising Reminders

Questions to Consider before your club holds a fundraiser:

  • What expense is your club fundraising to cover?

  • How will the fundraising activity your club chooses support the goals/vision of the club?

  • How will you communicate to potential donors what the club will be using the funds raised for? donors can be more willing to donate when they know the specific thing the club is trying to do with the funds.

Planning to host a Fundraiser?

  • Remember to follow the Activity Request and Fundraising Request Process and forms

    • Hold a club meeting discussion and deciding what/how the club wants to fundraise

    • Complete the Activity/Calendar Request Form

    • Complete the Fundraiser Request Form

    • Then submit all forms to the Finance Office or the Activities Director Drop Off outside the leadership team room

Revenue Split with Local Restaurants/Vendors

Revenue split fundraising with local restaurants and vendors is an effective way for clubs to raise funds while fostering community partnerships. In this model, clubs can collaborate with local businesses to host fundraising events, such as "dine-out nights" or promotional days. During these events, a percentage of the sales generated by patrons who mention the club or present a specific flyer is donated back to the club. This not only encourages club members and supporters to frequent the business but also attracts new customers for the vendor.

To maximize impact, clubs should promote the event through social media, flyers, and word of mouth to drive attendance. Clear communication with the vendor about the agreed-upon revenue split and event details ensures a smooth process. Additionally, maintaining a good relationship with the vendor can lead to ongoing fundraising opportunities.
