Running Your Own Fundraiser

Woah!  Pretty scary title!  Seriously though, it’s not at all as scary as it may seem!  The absolute best way to help your youth get to the 2019 World Jamboree or to Europe is by planning and running your own fundraiser.  First off, if you are running it, you know you’ll participate, so there is that 😉  In addition though, we would like to offer you a little more incentive…

If you completely plan and administer a new fundraiser (one we haven’t done in at least two years) you will keep 5% of the total proceeds for your youths trip fundraising!  

So whatever we raise, minus the cost of the fundrasier gives us the profit.  5% of the profit will be donated to the youths’ section for program delivery, 5% will go directly to your youths’ trip fundraising, and the remaining 90% will go to the youths who actually raise the money.  If your fundraiser profits $2,000, you will earn a minimum of $100 PLUS whatever your youth raises on their own!  Really adds up quick!

So how do you run your own fundraiser?  Well it’s surprisingly easy!

  1. Send me a quick email or speak to me about your fundraiser with as many details as you have so far.  I will work with you to determine costs, timing, etc and get the neccesary approval.
  2. You come up with order forms (if needed) and post details about your fundraiser on our group fundraising page.  You will also need to send me an email that I can forward off to all the parents.
  3. You collect and count the money, and ensure all the money and receipts make it to me as soon as possible after you receive it.  If it makes more sence, participants can pay me directly providing it can be done at regular Scout or Cub meetings.
  4. I will update the youths accounts with their share.

That’s it!  So what are you waiting for??  If every parent does one fundraiser, we’re up to close to THIRTY fundraisers!  We’ll get all our kids to Europe or WJ no problem!

Happy fundraising 😀
