Baca Surat Al-Ikhlas di 9 Waktu Ini, Lalu Rasakan Manfaat Besarnya
So there I was sipping on yet another White Mocha Frappachino - one pump hazelnut, one pump toffee nut without whip and all of a sudden a lady comes in and starts re-arranging the tables. I said; "oh I see you are an interior designer and just can't help yourself," and she busted up laughing and said; "I wish!" Then, more people started showing up and soon there were 6, then seven and finally 10 people total. I even donated my extra chair jokingly; "go ahead and take this one, I have no friends anyway."
Everyone laughed, but then the director got right down to business, when she read from her agenda of this ad hoc meeting under the din of some sort of Jazz-New Wave Rock- RAP music (Starbucks has an interesting taste in music indeed). She said; "Come On You Guys Our Nonprofit Group Needs to Make Money," and asked if anyone had ideas, and since no one raised their hands, I did, "they laughed" and I said "what about a Car Wash Fundraiser?" I actually wrote a book about that.
They wanted to know more so I explained; you see, if you are like most nonprofit groups, you are constantly in need to generate funds. One of the coolest fundraisers to have is a Car Wash Fundraiser. The more organized you are and the more preparation you put into such a project in advance, the more money you can make. No, it's not the world's easiest fundraiser but it can generate a good chunk of change for your group.
1. Now then, let's talk about putting all this together - here are a few tips;
2. You need to put together a small team or committee
3. You need to pick a good visible high-traffic count location, and a good date (also a rain date, just in case).
4. You should contact local media and get on newspaper calendar of events lists.
5. You need to print tickets to sell or print "wash-a-thon" pledge sheets to distribute.
6. You need to make a list of supplies such as; towels, vacuums, pressure washer, nozzles, window cleaner, squeegees, and a collection can for the money you will earn.
7. You should download the free eBook online; "How to Run a Successful Car Wash Fundraiser," -you can find this by searching online.
8. You need to have the workers in your group commit to a schedule to wash their share of the cars and follow up to make sure they will be there on-time and ready to work.
9. You need a promotional plan for the day of the event - poster board signage for instance.
10. You need a plan for post clean-up, and thank you letters.
Why not make this the best fundraiser your group has ever had. Once you make it a success save your notes for next year's Car Washing Fundraiser too. If this interests you send me an email and I will point you to my eBook on the topic, don't worry there is no cost. Please consider all this.
