The following guidelines can help make your efforts count. For more information, contact Glen-Gery’s Personalized Brick team.

DEVELOP YOUR FUNDRAISING PLAN

Choose your fundraising approaches—door-to-door, donations, special events, raffles, etc. Set realistic goals based on actual cost vs. profits. What part of your goal is attainable using Personalized Brick? Recruit volunteers, assigning them to teams responsible for manageable tasks.

SET TIMETABLES

Coordinate training session/meeting schedules. Set a firm process timetable, including production time for your Engraved Brick.

IDENTIFY PROSPECTIVE DONORS

Build relationships with prospects who can afford to contribute for years to come. Local businesses will donate funds to gain exposure and good public relations in the community. Remember, your donor prospect group must be large enough to meet your cash goals.

TRAIN YOUR VOLUNTEERS

Offer guidance for your volunteers on the strategic purposes of your fundraising project. Create specific shared goals for their teams, including team spirit and respect for leadership. Volunteers should be outgoing and friendly.

TRAINING INCLUDES PROPER RECOGNITION

Motivate volunteers by involving them in decisions. Recognize their contributions often to build loyalty and keep new leadership excited. Say “thank you” to instill a sense of their value
