Install A Fundraising Faucet



…by tapping into a pipeline flowing with cash!

March 15, 2006 • School Advocate

What if you could turn on the faucet in your house and money were to come gushing out? Wouldn’t you run around the house and turn on every faucet full blast to have the money flow into your bank account?

Now… let’s turn that into a fundraising question. What if you could tap into an existing pipeline flowing with cash, and divert the funds into your fundraising campaign? Well, the good news is, with the Shop and Support Fundraising Program™, YOU CAN!

There is a type of currency known as “Anyway Money”, a phrase coined by Dr. Steve W. Price, author of ‘Household Gold’. Anyway Money is any money you spend regularly on your everyday shopping, budgeting and gift giving expenses. It isn’t ‘out-of-pocket’ money or money you have to come up with through irregular means. It is money that you will spend on groceries, gas, entertainment and many other life necessities, anyway. Did you know that an average of 5% of every dollar of your supporters’ anyway money that is spent at their favourite retailers every week can be diverted back to your school through the Shop and Support Fundraising Program™. Your supporters’ everyday shopping is your pipeline to your fundraising faucet, and it’s up to you at what rate you decide to let the funds flow from the tap. With access to almost 200 retailers that your supporters already use every day, your school can tap the spending power of your supporters to start raising an average of $1,000.00 annually… per supporter!

Here’s how you can turn on your school’s Fundraising Faucet. Start by introducing the Shop and Support Fundraising™ Program to your core group. This group will include the school administration team, the parent and student councils and anyone else in a place of leadership at the school. Simply have the core group prepare an initial order for the shopping / gift cards that would apply to their ‘anyway money’ expenditures. Then, compile the orders into one bulk order and submit it online. Doing this will enrol your school in the program automatically, and you are now on your way to raising significant funds for your school! This will set the pace and springboard your school into the next step in the Shop and Support Fundraising Program™. This is where you roll out the program to the parents and students. This will start the tap flowing stronger and stronger and you will begin to see the mercury rising on your Shop and Support Fundometer™ rather quickly. Your Fundometer™ tracks the progress of your projects or fundraising goals. You will want to make sure you have specific targets that are well marketed so that you can constantly measure where you currently are with each fundraising project. The Shop and Support Fundraising™ Program has many great tools to help you reach your fundraising goals and timelines!

You’ve tried one-time fundraisers that require supporters spending money outside of their ‘anyway money’. Now you have the opportunity to implement ‘sustainable fundraising’ to reach every goal set, all year round. The cash is flowing so tap into the pipeline today to meet and exceed your fundraising goals!!
