Club fundraising has been around as long as people have been
organizing different clubs. The history of clubs goes back hundreds of
years when people first began to raise teams to plays sports against
other teams. Or people would organize clubs to participate in different
activities or hobbies.
So, it makes sense that to continue to do what these clubs love they
would need to raise money somehow to fund their activities, operations,
and/or travel. Thus, club fundraising was born to help clubs get
together and raise enough money to support their interests together. You
have most likely seen club fundraisers any number of times just driving
down your street. Car washes, bake sales, and even raking of leaves are
all very traditional means of club fundraising.
These are the tried and true methods that will help people make money
for relatively little amounts of capital to start with or minimal
amounts of time investments. The problem with club fundraising is that
it only really lends itself to marketing in the area of which the club
is located. This could be a problem since the club is not taking
advantage of different spectrums of advertising for its cause. However,
some of the best club fundraising campaigns have been the work that has
been successfully accomplished online.
To raise money online,
clubs really need to be cognizant of the audience that you wish to
reach out to and raise money from. Now, this audience may not just be
limited to the people in your city or town. It may be a cause that
affects people across the entire world and therefore it would be a good
idea to broaden the search for donators to the entire world rather than
just your own city or town. To do this you will want to try to use a
larger medium to raise money online. These mediums will most likely
include websites, blogs, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. You may be
familiar with one or even all of these mediums; however they can be used
to great effect in raising money. With these someone around the world
from you can hear your message and understand the charity that you are
trying to raise money online for.
These mediums can help you to reach across the world and broaden your
exposure to people and places that you would not be able to on a
regular basis.Club fundraising online
typically uses some or all of these programs in their quest to raise
money over the Internet and the world for various clubs. Club
fundraisers may be happening right now in your own town, city, or
school.
Go and check your local paper, you would be hard pressed to find an
issue that some sort of club was not trying to raise money for some sort
of charity or organization. These club fundraisers seek to help people
do things that they could not do before hand without others support of
the club fundraiser.
