Plungers

Tool Kit

Asking for donations is never easy and it can leave even the most outgoing person with trembling knees. This tool kit was designed to aid participants in their fundraising campaigns. Successfully asking for donations involves a good deal of preparation, some solid groundwork in finding the people you are going to ask and using the right "pitch" to convince them to donate.

All that being said…the #1 reason that people give? Because you ask them to! Remember that people give to people – not causes – and your passion and enthusiasm for the event and/or the cause are your best asset.

Happy Fundraising!!
