How to start Your business!

Persuasive Asking Brings in DOLLAR$

for a Professional Coordinator of Fundraising Events

How do you stand out in this persuasive field?

  The idea is to find the niche in the market for your area that has a gap.  If a Fundraiser Consultant is already present, maybe you can combine your service with planning and coordinating services. 

 

 

Take a field inventory of the groups and

organizations that have to raise funds in order to survive.  Based on the nature of their focus, can you see the types of events and campaigns you might need to offer.   You can also be an educator and host special workshops in the community about fundraising and capital campaigns!  This will put your name and face out there, build your reputation and encourage more clients!

...the main goal is:  

to run it more like a business and less like a hobby

    

 

As a natural planning and organizer, you enjoy making SUCCESS HAPPEN!  Raising funds for charity organizations and non-profit agencies gives you deep satisfaction knowing that you are helping a worthy cause, interest and foundation for the community. 

 

 

      As a Fundraiser Consultant and Coordinator, you have the ability to work with many groups of people who hold their special interest to heart.  You have probably already experienced positions that involve asking for money and working on capital campaigns.  Non-profits rely on grants and community support to continue their program services.  Maybe you have written grants before!  In any case, this field appeals to you and you've been thinking about starting a business on your own.

 

      As an independent consultant, you have the freedom to experience new ways of raising funds and organizing events that are fun-filled and beneficial.  You can work as an advisor to an organization and be in charge of events management.  So, who are your clients?

Social Service Agencies

Soccer Teams

School Districts

Churches

Local Candidates Campaigning

Kennel Clubs

Special Interest Clubs

...and more!

 

......more people are turning homeward to make a living


  
FREEDOM

     Having a business on your own and perhaps even working from the home offers a lifestyle of independence, flexibility and diversion.  Your current job may not offer this, yet being on your own can release you from a work that confines you.  This may, of course, offer you a 'comfort zone' that you are use to, yet doing something that you truly enjoy doing makes up the difference. 

 

 

As for education, most do not have degrees or certification.  They have prior experience, a long list of contacts, knowledge of the community and creative ideas.  Having the talent and the willingness to be an entrepreneur is your motive for starting a business.  It's up to you as to how you might use a degree, additional education or certification, yet word of mouth and building your reputation is key to a successful venture.   If you know how to raise money for groups, you will be sought out!   Basic knowledge of the industry is needed and the willingness to learn more has to be present.

  PlannersGuide Biz kit program offers guidance and information in combination with the skills and talents that you already possess.  It assists you in establishing the components of your business structure and developing a plan of action.

If you are searching for answers and information, then you must have an inspiration toward your goal.   Start off slow or full-time.  Just start!

Use the start-up kit below to help motivate you in getting started......design your working business plan and explore your direction.   

 

      The business start-up plan section is formatted as self-directed home study, to be completed at your own pace.  PLUS!  The information is formatted for digital convenience in Microsoft Word or RTF for Mac users.  This means that the format is printable and modifiable unlike some programs (and books) that use PDF formats that are NOT modifiable for your needs. 

 

 

CREATIVITY & CONTACTS

 

     Have the know-how already and a contact base that makes you viable for this type of work is the first step in going independent.  You probably have always been creative in your efforts to help others raise funds and you enjoy event planning and campaign management!  You have to ask yourself what steps are needed to venture into this field? 

 

    A working plan that you specifically design explores your market, target and your business structure.  Many people skip this step, yet if you haven't surveyed all your options, you may miss out!    We like to plan and organize  events, yet the first thing to organize is your business operations.   This step is vital for the strong business base that you want to develop.  You want to start off in the right direction so that you won't have to 'back-track' latter down the road.  Therefore, a Business Plan is the key to success---a well thought-out plan.
