Fundraising

As a group leader, I get asked about fundraising all of the time.  Everyone wants the next big idea that will bring in lots of cash.  Almost all of my groups have done fundraising in the past.  Some were more successful than others, and the  magic ingredients that have worked for every successful fundraiser were:  organization, advertising, and charm.  I couldn't begin to recount the amount of fundraisers that my travelers have executed in the last six years, but I can tell you that the best ones were well organized, advertised far and wide (by the way you can't beat word of mouth), and involved our students talking with potential patrons about their upcoming trip and inviting them to contribute.

Did you know? Everyone who signs up for an EF Tour has their own personal fundraising account?  On your EF Tours account,  you can find a link that can be copied and pasted into e-mail, and  everyone you know to contribute to your tour. I've had students do this in the past, and have been very successful.  How simple is that?  One e-mail could make a big difference in your balance!  Have your travelers log into their personal account to check it out at www.eftours.com.

You want ideas???  I've got ideas!  But don't get too excited...they aren't anything fancy, just good old fashioned, hard-working fundraisers.  The events that have brought in the most money for my groups are the ones that let their family, friends and community get involved and help out!  For a complete list of my ideas...click here!  If you have any questions about these, or need more details, don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail at missjessicataylor@gmail.com.  I'd love to hear from you!

What are some of your best ideas?  Just like you, I'm always looking for new ones.  Let me know in the comments below!
