Do you need to raise money quickly for your non profit event, team trip or uniforms? Take your financial results beyond the candy, candle and bake sales ( and create some great local partnerships and team building)!Provided you are a tax‐exempt under 501(c (3) and recognized as a “public charity” by the IRS, there are literally DOZENS of retailers right in your neighborhood seeking to partner hand help you raise money! Here are a few questions to ask as you pair up with area retailers to fundraise: • How does your establishment help our organization market our fundraiser? • Are there rules for promoting the event, using your/their logo, etc? • What percentage of the fundraisers proceeds will our group receive? • What day or days are most profitable to produce our fundraiser? • Will my organization be the only one hosting a fundraiser? • Are there opportunities for our members to work as "celebrity servers"? • Can we solicit funds and or set up an informational display during our event?
