Here is something that continues to make my brain spin!
I approach a non-profit organization, veteran related or not, with a short proposal to help them raise funds so they can continue to perform their “Mission Statement”. They are all asking for money – donations – just look at their websites for the “How to help” or “Donate Now” buttons or links.
Almost all of the people I have contacted and spoken with or exchanged emails with have a similar response – “We have no wish to raise funds in that method”. (I took a few comments and paraphrased them.)
These folks either have the wrong person making the decision or they are not listening or they are thinking within a very, very small box or they don’t want to work a little.
Why would a non-profit turn their backs on raising funds?
Why would a non-profit say “not interested” even when it will cost them nothing but a little work?
Okay, so your answer is what? Would someone explain to me why the answers are like that when I can show, and help, them raise $20,000 at a single event?
Anyone? If I could get someone to explain it then perhaps I could improve my explanations to them. Given the chance I know I can help.
We work with non-profits to help them raise much needed funds for the projects they are involved with.
We have yet to speak with a non-profit that has considered travel for their fund raising. We do things like establish a cruise, that the organization must inform all of the members and supporters about.
We act as the go-between with the organization and the cruise line.
With active groups this can raise as much at $20,000 for one cruise. And, guess what – the organization does not spend anything except for publicity.
We do not charge for doing this.
