Guidelines for Holding a Fundraiser
- Set realistic goals based on the amount of financial support needed and how much money can reasonably be raised. Remember that some projects may be expensive to conduct but will also generate more than enough money to cover the costs.
- Draw upon the resources at hand. If Interact club members can sing or act, consider putting on a talent show.
- Involve all members of the club.
- Promote the project through the local media, including the school newspaper. Invite a reporter to attend. Immediately after the event, send a brief report of your project to the local media and to RI and include
- photographs that show club members actively participating in the event.
The projects that Interact club members undertake are limited only by their imagination and that of the sponsoring Rotary club. Following are some project activities that Interact clubs may choose to pursue. For other project ideas, visit the online Community Projects Database at www.rotary.org.
