How to solicit schools for fundraising?
I have a charity that helps families and friends of those with illnesses such as manic depression, cancer, autism, etc. We help with counseling, financial assistance when we can, problem solving, etc. In order to expand our resources, we would like to get involved with schools but are unaware of how to start. Anyone who has children know that several times a year your child comes home with a packet of info solicity the family to buy figurines, candy, gifts, etc. There are all kinds of things being solicited for one reason or another. I'm trying to find out how my charity can become a part of the school's organization to solicity the parents for our cause. This would be a big help and any thoughts, comments, suggestions, or answers would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.
Well you'd probably need to approach the school board in your local school district. But my guess is that you will hit a brick wall. When school's do fundraisers, the proceeds go to purchase supplies and equipment for the school - they don't donate it to charity. So that's why I think you'll run into a brick wall. (Unless any proceeds from your fundraiser will go to the school - but you may still have a hard time.)
You could, however, approach the manager at your local Wal Mart. If it is a legitimate charity that you are fundraising for, Wal Mart may let you set up a table in front of their store - and they usually will contribute an additional 50% of what you collected while in front of their store. So talk to the manager at Wal Mart and they'll give you the paperwork to fill out.
Good luck.
