Empowered Fundraising - The Art of Raising money for anything without asking for Donations


Ask any person the need to raise money from nothing and how they plan to do will always come up with a list of all the ideas that involve asking people to donate in one way or another - be it time, money, goods or any combination of these.

How many boxes of cookies, raffle tickets and door knock appeals have you paid for that had nothing to do with raising money for something? No one, right? Do not know about you, but what I'd like to help, I really tired of people asking for donations.

Whether you are raising funds for a sick person who needs care, a high school sports team that wants to go to a competitive event, or a charity you believe in, it is difficult to move away from the need to ask people to donate.

In fact, the reason for this article is because rashly I offered to host an event to raise funds for organizations that want to help, and I was a bit 'puzzled, because I recently moved to this state and does not yet know many people who can invite or ask to participate.

So how can I follow through and raise a significant contribution?

As I thought, I thought of other ways I'd like to help the community or the world.

1. Surf Life Savers

2. Panda and other endangered species, WWF

3. Amnesty International

4. A lady I saw on the news that takes care of injured animals on the roads

5. Parents, children, grandchildren

6. Elderly and Disabled

7. Research on breast health and health problems of other women

8. Many more ... and me, while I'm at it!

You will have your own list ... People everywhere want money.

I want to do something to help everyone in the long term so as not to suffer the humiliation of having to constantly put their hands to ask for money.

You see, although I want to help, I have a little 'problem with just giving. I think the mentality has flyer effectiveness and "unhealthy" for individuals and groups. Much better to help them become financially empowered, so they can be self-financing and independent.

Then I came across a story online that caught my attention. I sat up and took notice.

Fundraiser: How do you want to generate between $ 50,000 to $ 100,000 a year? I snorted in disbelief: "How could you possibly do that without asking people for donations and a lot of work?"

Well, you can do. There are no gifts and no work required.

I read about charities, non-profit organizations, the disabled, and even events in some parts of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, all of which are funded with an adaptation of the principles described in the book "Financial Freedom on $ 1 a day" from Suzanne Kincaid. Nobody was asked to donate, but they are generating considerable income. And 'while working in New Zealand.

Then it hit me like a blinding flash of the obvious. A sort of epiphany, where everything went fine so simple. But would it work for me? ... I also had the courage to try?

Australians we would be willing to support each other in this way?

Because even if this concept is not based on donations, but is entirely based on participation. Individual participation for the benefit of the whole, in which you are asked to spend a small amount of money on a regular basis for the good of the group - but you get the benefit of such a worthwhile purchase.

A little 'as a "modern" version of the old idea of ​​multi-level or network marketing, where profit sharing occurs, but with the "big difference" is that these days, it is done on-line and no must go sell soap powder, or cosmetics, or anything else, to their friends. Because in these days is used as an investment strategy, rather than a business strategy at home.

It 's simply the strategy of forming a' "investment partnership" and invest in a profit sharing fee, in return for which the participant receives goods and services online, advertise your events for free, free web page, ebooks, music - including free songs you can download whenever you want, online courses and much more, including a share of revenues generated by members, and even the ability to sell their products. It fits well with the school fundraiser. Children everywhere these days love to download free songs for their iPod every month. Legally, what's more.

These people are raising a little 'money.

So let me ask you ... Would you be willing to support the beneficiary of your choice by joining a membership that also stand to profit from yourself?

If you asked me this question, my answer would be two questions: "What should I do?" and "How should I take advantage?"

So here's what you do

1. Buy a membership for $ 15 joining fee and $ 15 per month - which is just 50 cents a day

2. Keep this subscription for twelve months, or until it is self-funding and requires no additional cash contributions from you - you are free to cancel at any time, but in order to benefit the group and yourself the best, you need to give time to grow

3. That's it - no further action required by you

And here's how you profit

1. Part of the fee is paid through participation in the profits back to members

2. Part of the monthly subscription revenue is paid via profit sharing back to the States up to a maximum of over $ 4,000 per month for each member, or double room for two subscriptions

3. If you're in business, you can generate additional profits by selling their products or services on the web page of your member and keep 100%

4. You can advertise your business online or offline for free and keep 100% of all sales generated in this way

I'm going to help as many people and groups as possible and all those who participate get their share of profits as well. This is a huge win-win for everyone. So not only high school, but also the whole community can benefit from participation.

If you have a group specifically established or charity you'd like to raise funds for, or even if you need more money for you, I will be happy to help you or tell you what you need to know to organize your own fund. The beauty is, rather than compete, each of us can benefit from joining forces and helping each other.

Fundraisers High School aside, show me a family that could use extra income these days?...
