Fundraising with Small Groups can mean Big Profits

Often people with small fundraising groups think that they don't have enough manpower to raise significant funds. Well, we've found that small groups have a big advantage - the ability to organize! When the whole group feels invested in the mission and the team works together with a plan they can do BIG things.

Not only is it easier to communicate with a small group but the members of the group often feel a much greater responsibility to the cause. Setting goals and keeping track of progress can spur people to act AND can increase the fun of the program.

Got 5 - 10 people? Get together with a couple pizzas and your cell phones and call down a list of friends (or parents friends). See who can sell the most in 60 minutes. A few sessions like that and you can surpass your fundraising goals. Keep track, make it fun!

Do you have success stories about how your small groups have turned big profits? Leave a comment!
