Talk:Effective Student Organization/Fundraising

=   * 1 Need for fundraising= I simply added an introductory paragraph to this section to provide a little clarity to why fundraising is necessary for the clubs and organizations.

I added an introduction to the fundraising section briefing describing the importance of fundraising and how many clubs go about their fundraising.

I added some more information about the importance of fund raising to make clubs last.

I added a sentence expanding on the importance of fundraising as a way of bonding as a club and making the newer members feel more welcome.

I added a few sentences to one of the paragraphs expanding on why the clubs and organizations fundraise, how they do so, and how they use their budget effectively.

o 1.2 Why fundraise
I just expanded on some additional benefits of fundraising. I felt it was important to show how getting adequate funding not only gets the word out about the club, but also allows the club to better complete projects. I also wanted to add how getting funding from the administration has been helpful to SRE as a way to show that there are numerous ways to get funding.

I revised the paragraph about the Hui O’ Hawaii club's fundraising to make it sound more about the club itself, instead of about the club from the anthro. group's perspective. The future Wiki book readers will benefit more if the information on effective strategies is soley about the group itself.

I added a introductory paragraph just to explain the first steps of why fundraising is important and needed. I also added in that each club gets a certain amount of money at the beginning of each year, so some clubs don't necessarily have to fundraise as much as others.

o 1.3 Fundraising for events
I added an introductory paragraph the fundraising for events section because I wanted to make clearer what the section was actually regarding. I first explained why events are important to clubs and then breifly explained how fundraising is related to the events.

o 1.4 Is there a need for fundraising
I made a revision here. I added a concluding paragraph because the title heading was "Is there a need for fundraising" and I was reading though all the posts and came to find out that some clubs don't necessarily need to fundraise. So I then decided to conclude this section saying that yes, there are needs for fundraising, but also that some clubs are just fine with the money given to them by the AS clubs every month.

=   * 2 Types= I made a revision in the types of fundraising by adding a introductry paragraph explaining how clubs only get so much money from western and have to perform different types of fundraising to be able to have the events they want to be a successful club.

I added a paragraph about grant writing because I feel that it is a very important way for clubs to fund raise. I also made some minor edits to the previous paragraph.

o 2.2 Success
I added an introduction to the section on successful fundraising because there were several examples listed in this section. The introduction makes it clear that there have been several types of successful fundraising. Now readers will have a better idea of the overall successes clubs have had in the past.

o 2.3 Types
I edited the sailing team portion of the entry to explain what type of fundraising is effective for them and to gomore into depth about some of the benefits that go along with their fundraising.

I added some various types of fundraising that clubs around campus use such as petition signing, poster and visual recognition, and verbal communication with the administration requesting more money. I felt it is necessary to have multiple types of fundraising to maximize effectivness of receiving funds.

=   * 3 Collaborating with another club=

o 3.1 Benefits of collaborating
I added an introduction to this section because it was lacking one. It now has a brief paragraph at the beginning explaining what the section will cover.

o 3.2 What groups usually collaborate together
Made revisions to ideas referring to WMAV. I felt the part about "like-minded men" was too limited so I mentioned that females join in the club also. I also changed the second to last sentence to make it more appropriate to WMAV. And, of course, some minor edits.

As to the like-minded men change-- I used that phrasing because I was speaking about the Walk A Mile event, and for some reason I was thinking it was a men-only event. Good catch.

=   * 4 Effective Place and Time for fundraising=

I added an introductory paragraph here to discuss the importance and necessity for considering the when and where before fully planning a fundraiser. The when and where can greatly effect the outcome and efficiency of a fundraiser which was the point I wanted to get across while using specific examples.

o 4.2 Off Campus
I think off-campus fundraising can be very useful, and no one had mentioned anything about it yet and i know LEAD used that for their club.

I added a little bit of information about businesses likening to help because it helps their company look good.

I added a specific example of Krispy Kreme Donuts helping with funsraisers.
