25 Good Fundraising Ideas (and One Bad One)

1. Donate
If you don’t donate money to organizations yourself, Brooks said, then stop fundraising and go join an industry you’re willing to participate in.

2. Get on every mailing list
The more lists you are on, the more people you reach.

3. Hang around with older folks
“Older people are your donors,” Brooks said. So make sure you spend time with your elders to learn about their likes and dislikes, how they read things, how to make communications easier. That way, you can present them with the most relevant, easy-to-read information about your cause.
