Hints for Fundraising

I have been working hard and coming up with ideas for Fundraising.

The steps I have taken are these:

  • Set up your TNT personal website, there are many great ones out there, find one that you like and emulate it.
  • Get a Facebook (or any other social Networking site) Account and get friends. If you got one, use it!
  • Go to Godaddy.com and spend the 10 bucks to get your own domain name and set up forwarding to your TNT page. You can re-use it if you participate in TNT again. Mine is chopperTNT.com
  • Vistaprint.com is your BFF. Order the Free Business Cards. If you don't mind spending a couple bucks, get your mission on the back. This is where you put your web address, email address, contact information and blog address
  • Start a Blog and link to your TNT page
  • Get on Twitter.com and start collecting followers.
  • Send an email to your ENTIRE email address book. Even if you only contacted them once, even to just order something. Ask thm to send your email to everyone in their contact list. There are many people out there that are ready to donate to something. Include your blog and website address.
  • Find a corporate sponsor. Someone who will do campaign matching.
  • Mail out your letters to every address you can find. Go on the web and contact every business you use, including restuants and everyone. Make a "Donation Request" letter, include your business card, blog and website address, and send it to these businesses.
  • Hold a Silent Auction, find a business to host it, and ask people to donate items.
  • Hand out Business cards to everyone you meet, put them on your desk at work, drop them in the bowl at a resturant, leave one with your waitress with their tip.
  • SELL YOURSELF! - Sell advertising space on your body, arms, legs, forehead. Anything

Although, these are but a few suggestions, I could go on, and will probably do so soon. This is all for now.

Good Luck!
