My daughter has cystic fibrosis...so we are getting to be old pros at fundraising. The easiest and least confrontational method that we have used has been letter writing campaigns. Write out a letter that lets people know who you are and what you need. Be personal but not too personal. Tell about the camp and what a great thing it will be for her and what kind of positive changes it will bring about in her life. If she is old enough have her write at least part of the letter and make the copies in her handwriting...it makes it more personal to the people who will read it. When asking for money from people you don%26#039;t know in this way it makes people much more confident if they are able to write out the check directly to the place that is going to recieve it (Camp Shane) rather than the person writing the letter. When you send out the letters include a self addressed and stamped envelope so that all they have to do is put the check in the mail...no looking for stamps or trying to find your address. Mail letters to all family, friends, local organizations, and don%26#039;t forget places like Walmart (they write off charitible donations).This is my favorite method for fundraising because it pains me to ask people for money personally. This is how we do the CF walk fundraising every year and this year we made $2000 this way.
After people send checks don%26#039;t forget to send them thank you letters...you will be amazed at the people who show their generosity.
