In athletics, the difference between first and second place is often a small margin. In such a close contest, the amount of effort put in preparing for and going after the championship is almost identical. Usually, it is just a little extra effort that puts one over the top.

When food is a part of your fundraising event you must choose a catering service wisely. How your guests remember your fundraiser will greatly depend on what they thought of the food and service. Those memories, good or bad, will influence them when it comes time to think about attending your next fundraising event.

Many of us experienced school fundraisers as kids. We had the task of going door to door selling chocolate bars, magazine subscriptions, wrapping paper and more to raise money for our schools or activities.

What Equipment or Assets are Available?
Once you start fundraising in earnest - or rather, before you start, you need to know what equipment is available to help you. The days of pen and notebook are far gone, so start looking for that computer software specially made for fundraisers. Once considered a luxury, software programs [...]]]></description>

What is Your Fundraising Goal?

Sometimes people fundraise to get money for people who need special health care or to help disabled or disadvantaged people. [...]]]></description>

The addition of classrooms, labs, a new steeple, additional capacity added to an existing facility, or even remodeling of an existing space all take money. The use of building fund drives has long been [...]]]></description>

If one Googles the phrase &#8220;Strategic Influence&#8221; we see literally thousands of references to a controversial department of the Pentagon established by the U.S. in the advent of the war in Iraq which has since been disbanded.
