    FUND-RAISINGOVERVIEWFund-raising is any activity that brings funding

    to your chapter for its projects. One of thekey issues local chapters must face is howthey will nd the funds necessary to conduct

    the activities they wish to undertake. Withoutadequate funds, even the most innovative

    and enthusiastic chapter will not be able toimplement its program of work. A dilemma

    faced by most chapters is where will we getthe money to conduct local activities and to

    participate in state and national conferences?

    oHave a planning meeting. Meet with administration to discuss

    procedures, nancial requirements, open

    dates, forms, and securing approval foryour project.

    Meet with the student ofcers.

    Discuss the activities that your group isplanning for the upcoming year. Estimate the cost of these activities and

    compare it to current funds available to

    determine how much additional moneywill need to be raised.

    Develop an event calendar, includingyour deadlines; then determine the best

    time (usually well in advance) to have afund-raising event.

    Appoint a fund-raising committee or

    coordinator.

    oDevelop a fund-raising plan. Choose theright fund-raiser for your chapter by taking

    into account: The number of members in your group.

    Members interests and skills.

    Members enthusiasm for the event. Members time commitments.

    Creative ideas (have a brainstorming session). Other fund-raising activities already in progress.

    The best time of year for your fund-raising activity. Set the date.

    Pick dates that are not in conict with other community or schoolfund-raisers. Clear the date with the school.

    Any costs for the fund-raiser (advertising, space, or food). School rules and regulations.

    oPlan the fund-raiser.

    Choose an appropriate date based on the kind of fund-raiser thatyou plan to have (taking into consideration weather and academiccalendar).

    Reserve a room or location well in advance of the date.

    Plan a publicity campaign. Give the community paper plenty of

    notice about the fund-raiser. Advertise in the school newspaper

    and talk it up with the student body. Form committees and delegate tasks. Watch expensesyou dont want to lose money on a fund-raiser.

    A budget should be made.

    oExecute the event.

    Have fun with it!

    Have an incentive program for members.

    oEvaluate the event.

    Go through all receipts and deposit any money immediately. Pay any bills accrued.

    Thank all members and sponsors who contributed to the event. Discuss the logistics of the event.

    Begin to plan for next year.

    Questions to ask in determining the value or feasibility of an activity:

    oWhich FBLA-PBL goal(s) does this activity reinforce?

    oWill it be a business learning experience? How?

    oWhat are the risks involved? Are they worth the benets?

    oHas it been well thought out and carefully planned?

    oHas it been tried in the past, and can any pitfalls be avoided?

    oHow will the funds be raised for this activity?

    oWill it make money?

    BUDGETINGA budget should be made at the same timethe chapters program of work is beingdeveloped. REFERENCE: Sample ChapterBudget FUND-RAISING-7.The program ofwork includes the goals and activities of the

    chapter. Anticipation of expenses will help achapter to plan adequate fund-raising activities

    and make it possible for a chapter to reach thegoals outlined in the program of work.

    The budget is divided into two sections:estimated income and estimated expenditures.

    To determine these expenses, it is suggestedto complete the available nancial planning

    forms.

    CONDUCTINGASALESCAMPAIGNeducationally as well. Having two weeks to sell puts everyone to workmuch faster. Avoid procrastination by building periodic sales goals into

    the timetable.

    oThere may be times, though, when the unlimited sales period isthe best choice. In this case, hold periodic sales rallies to maintain

    momentum. Develop procedures to minimize the time spent ontracking money and accounting for inventory.

    oThe experience gained in fund-raising projects is as important asraising the money. Manage the project as any other chapter activity.

    First, get permission from school administration. Then establish anorganization with lines of authority, delegate responsibilities, and

    communicate these to all members. Follow a timetable, adhering todeadlines as closely as possible, and evaluate progress at differentstages. Be prepared and be exible enough to make changes along

    the way. An organization chart can establish who takes orders, whomaintains inventory, who keeps accounts, and who deposits funds.

    Keep the organization simple and uncomplicated with maybe just achairman, accountant, sales manager, and promotion manager.

    oBefore the sales force hits the streets, a few training and practice

    sessions are in order. A successful business does not send its salesforce out without proper training and complete product knowledge.Role playing can help prepare members to overcome customer

    objections.

    oIncentives or commissions can work wonders to motivate the salesforce: offer prizes and recognition for effort and results.

    oThe job is not over when the nal dollar is counted. Often

    neglected, program evaluation is a valuable educational experience.This process will help the chapter plan and conduct more successful

    events in the future. From the outset, evaluation should be built intovarious planning and schedule checkpoints throughout the course

    of the project. Someone should track the project as it progressesrecording how it was organized, methods for promotion, any problemsthat arise as well as particular success stories to note. The evaluation

    can close with suggestions for future projects of a similar nature.

    oWill it provide for business and community

    involvement?

    oWho outside the organization might be ofassistance?

    oHave the school administration and

    advisory council been informed?

    oHow will the activity be publicized, bothbefore and after?

    The FBLA-PBL state ofce and national center should be able to give

    conference locations, dates, hotel rates, and registration fees for thecurrent year. This information will enable transportation and food

    expenses to be estimated. REFERENCE: Conference Budget FormFUND-RAISING 8.

    If the chapter would like to participate in the chapter events such as:

    American Enterprise Project Partnership with Business Project

    Community Service Project Local Chapter Annual Reportthen nancial planning should be done for each project. The initial

    step would be to elect a chairman and form a committee to determinemember interest. This will help in planning the scope of the project.

    A favorite fund-raising technique is sales.Before conducting a sales campaign, however,

    three crucial decisions must be made: whatproduct to sell, to whom, and when. There

    are basically three choices for productconsumable, permanent, or semi-permanent.Consumable items can be sold on an annual

    basis, while more permanent products liketoys and cookbooks should not be considered

    on a regular basis. Members should beincluded in product selection since the sales

    force will be more enthusiastic about pushinga product they selected.

    oStudy the market to match product tobuyer. Carefully analyze this market and make

    realistic sales projections before building an

    inventory. If possible, take orders beforestocking perishable items, such as fruitsand holiday greens. Finally, when moving

    merchandise, remember parents, relatives, andstudents are natural customer prospects.

    oBrainstorming can focus on promotionaland publicity angles, possible selling

    techniques, and the different ways to motivatecustomer purchases. All members should be

    included in this activity.

    oSelecting the time for a fund-raising eventis just as important as product and market

    decisions. Careful planning will most likelymake these timing decisions. Always allow

    ample lead time in preparation for the project.Chapters should address one very key decisionwith regard to timing. What is the value of the

    concentrated sales effort versus an unlimitedtime for sales? The concentrated effort islikely to be the more successful nancially and

    OTHERFUNDINGSOURCESSchool FundingAvailability of funds from the school, business

    department, and nance board should be

    checked rst. Look into the school boards

    policy on funding. It is recommended tosubmit the chapters estimated expenditures at

    budget preparation time to the administrationto determine if any funds can be allocated for

    the current and future school year(s).

    DonationsDonations are a great way to retain moneyraised by your chapter. Never buy anything

    that you dont have to buy. Many stores aremore than willing to donate food, prizes, cash,

    or anything they can to help with projects.Anytime you get something donated, it isntcosting your chapter a dime. That means

    that you are saving money. Remember whenasking for donations:

    oFind members who arent afraid to ask and

    delegate them this responsibility.

    oSend a letter rst, then follow up one week

    later with a phone call.

    oBe polite.

    oTell them who you are and let them knowyou represent a nonprot organization.

    oAsk for what you need and not what you

    want.

    oRemember to say thank you and

    acknowledge them as publicly as you can.Always follow-up with a thank you card.

    SponsorshipsSponsorships are not only a good way toraise money to support your chapter, butalso a great way to begin working with the

    businesses in your community. The number

    one thing you need to consider when trying to nd sponsors for events

    and trips is what the business get in return. Approach the businessand be ready to bargain. REFERENCE: Sample Donation/SponsorshipLetter FUND-RAISING-9.

    oOffer student workers for a day or two.

    oPut their logo on your T-shirt.

    oTell them their name will be on the press release about this project,activity, or trip.

    When your students begin approaching the businesses, one of the key

    things to remember is to be professional and project a positive image.Being professional not only means being dressed well, but also means

    being prepared. Students should be prepared to answer all questions.For example, the business may ask, What is FBLA-PBL? or Whyshould we help you? Students should work together as a team and

    deliver a team presentation to the company. Finally, students shouldmake sure that they have quality literature to leave with the company

    and obtain a contact for the company so that they can make a followup phone call. Once your chapter forms partnerships or sponsorships,

    dont let them die. Try to maintain them year after year. Work with thesame people and make sure that the companies know that they canrely on your chapter to help them if they need help, just as they helped

    your chapter in your time of need.

    Local Dues/Member ContributionsSome chapters decide to charge members local dues to offset expenses.

    In addition, members also can be asked to pay some or all of the costs

    to attend a conference.

    Adviser CompensationMany advisers are reimbursed for the costs of attending conferences

    including transportation, registration, food, and lodging. Thereimbursement of these expenses can offset the chapters overall

    estimated expenditures.

    Special Funding PoolSome states provide special funding to new and existing chapters.Compensation may also be available from the FBLA-PBL state

    ofce to students who qualify to compete at the National Leadership

    Conference.

    FUND-RAISING LESSON PLAN

    NBEA Standards/Lesson Objectives

    Communications

    Participate in group discussions for problemresolution

    Critical-thinking Skills

    Demonstrate critical, creative, and analyticalthinking to solve both individual and groupproblems.

    Introduction to the Lesson: (Time: 5 minutes)Discuss examples of successful businesspeople. TakeDebbie Fields of Mrs. Fields Cookies. She got started inbusiness because she loved to make cookies. She dreamedof opening her own business, but was told, even by herown family members, that she would not be able to doit. She applied for numerous loans and was turned down

    time and time again. Finally, she started baking cookiesamples and taking them in as she went to discuss loanswith various banks. One decided to take a chance on herbecause of her creative and tasty approach, and therest is history. Mrs. Fields Cookies has stores everywhereand is one of the most successful cookie businesses. (Theadviser could pass out Mrs. Fields Cookies at this point to reinforcethe story.)

    Notes:

    This story showed us the importance of movingahead with something that you believe in.

    Your fund-raising may not always be successful;

    sometimes you need to re-evaluate the situationand try a different approach.

    Before conducting a sales campaign, three decisionsmust be made: what to sell, to whom, and when.

    Reinforcement Activity: (Time: 5 minutes)The adviser displays two items. One is a wrappedmystery gift. The other is a brown paper bag. Studentsare told that each item has something in it. The adviserasks for a volunteer. The volunteer is told to select eitherthe wrapped present or the paper bag. (Usually they pickthe wrapped gift.) The wrapped gift has a piece of candyin it, while the paper bag has several small gadgets in it.

    Notes:

    As you can see, you cant always tell an item by itswrappings.

    A fund-raiser can work the same wayyou canhave the greatest fund-raiser in the world, butpeople may not know about it or participate if youdont publicize it.

    Also, you need to remember that there is always anopportunity cost. You must give something up. Thesame holds true for a fund-raiser. It is important tocheck dates for other events in the community andschool so students dont have a big opportunitycostor so they dont have to give up somethingbig to attend the fund-raiser.

    All resources are limited. It is a simple factscarcitythat forces us to make decisions. When we make achoice, we must pass up some other activity.

    There also are opportunity costs in deciding how touse productive resourcesanything used to makeother goods and services. They include land, labor,capital, and entrepreneurship. When people chooseto use a certain resource such as lumber to producesomethinglike a dunk tank to raise funds for thechapter. The opportunity cost would be somethingelse that the chapter could have produced with thelumber, like a chapter exhibit booth.

    Reinforcement Activity: (Time: 10 minutes)Students are told to visit the Crayola Web site to learnhow crayons are made. Visit: www.crayola.com

    Click color corner. Click the Crayola CrayonChronology and nd out about the history of your favorite

    color. Print out the 120 years summarized history.

    Notes/Discussion:

    What other products can be made with resourcessuch as parafn wax? Make a list.

    If you have ever examined crayons and candlesclosely, you have probably guessed that they aremade from similar ingredients. Lets gure out how

    many crayons you would need to give up in orderto have a candle about three inches high and twoinches in diameter. Grab a bunch of crayons (nobroken ones) and hold them in your st. Have a

    friend hold a ruler across the top of the bunchof crayons and add or remove crayons until thediameter of the bunch is about two inches. Nowcount the number of crayons that you have in yourhand.

    In order to make the candle, your opportunity costwould be the total number of crayons that youcounted.

    Fund-raisers work the same waystudents thatparticipate in your fund-raiser or event are givingup some other activity to participatethis is theopportunity cost.

    Reinforcement Activity: (Time: 10 minutes)Students are given the fund-raising word nd on page 13

    and 10 minutes to nd as many of the 17 fund-raising-

    related words as they can. When time is called, nd out

    which student has the most words and offer a prize to thewinner.

    Notes:

    Through this exercise you were introduced to someimportant fund-raising words.

    In order to have a successful fund-raiser, you needto planhave a brainstorming session.

    Do some nancial planningprepare a budget

    estimating your receipts and expenses.

    Prepare a journal report.
