Fundraising for Small Groups Newsletter

This is also a good time to reflect back on the year and take stock of your fundraising efforts and how they went. Kind of an overlook of the situation now you have some down time from fundraising.

I find it works best for me between Christmas and New Years. For some reason I turn introspective that week.

This can be as formal or informal as you like. Write down your thoughts if it seems appropriate. Some good questions to reflect on are:

• Which fundraisers were the most successful?
• Which were the easiest to hold?
• Which have created the most buzz among your sellers and customers?

Also think about those fundraisers that were not as successful, and what went wrong:

• Was the timing of the fundraiser wrong?
• Was the cost of the items being sold too high for your customers?
• Was it not well organized?
