Choosing Funding Sources For Fundraising Projects Springfield

By Betty Olson


Financial donations offer a good solution for raising money to finance a cause. While it is possible to get by with one or two sources of funds, there is a greater risk in the long term. When any of the two sources disappear, the firm gets into trouble. With many fundraising projects Springfield, the firm can be sure to stand even when one of them pulls away.

One of the targets of fundraising projects is grants. These are offered by local, state and federal governments as well as other trusts. They avail billion of dollars for groups that meet the criteria for the funds. The grants are usually set aside for certain goals. Identifying the right source of the grant requires establishing the aim of a group first.

Another option is to organize fundraising events. Most not-for-profit organizations utilize this option to raise funds for their activities. The only issue is that these events consume a lot of time and require more commitment. However, they are worth the hassle since they always pay off with persistence and proper coordination. Some of the possible events would be to hold some walk, some marathon, dinners, talent shows and game nights.

Additionally, a firm can choose to include donations as a source of funds. Sometimes the smaller firms belittle themselves and think that donations are hard for them to obtain. However, donors do not discriminate between smaller and bigger firms. As long as one has a clear goal on what they want to do with the donations, they are worthy of getting a donation.

It is also possible to raise untied money through sales. The money is untied because the firm will provide goods and services to those who need them and in return, get the money. Since the people already have the goods, the organization will not have another specific obligation to fulfill regarding the funds obtained.

A more diversified way of raising funds is through crowd-funding. Through this option, one attracts funds from around the globe through the internet. The idea behind it is to set a target and people will come up with pledges. In the end, the fundraiser is handed the money if the target is hit. At times, the target may be tied to some reward, but in most cases, people donate without the rewards. This option requires creativity and energy but is rewarding in the end.

Another option would be to engage in community-business partnerships. The benefits of such partnerships are mutual and extend to the entire community. They could be in the form of sponsorship, volunteers, and donations in kind may be of goods or services, financial donations and shared infrastructure or premises including office space and storage room, among others. This can save the partners some resources that could be used elsewhere.

All that is necessary for this process is to ensure a sustainable source of finances. Having a variety of funding sources eliminates the risk of collapse when any source weakness. However, there is a need to ensure the feasibility and profitability of your fund sources to ensure the right combination.
