Golden Points...LEAD WITH VISION... NOT A BROKEN BUCKET
Not filling a hole nor more of the same... this is about creating a bigger & better Union.
KNOW YOUR TRUE VALUEWhat’s the business case... this is a business opportunity.
USE PASSION TO PERSUADE & PERSUADE EVERYONE Put your best team together – leadership is key.
USE AND INCLUDE YOUR PEOPLE Don’t allow a disconnect to occur between the fund raiser(s) and the do.
THERE ARE NO ‘NO GO CAUSES’If your students are passionate about it you can fundraise for it?
ITS ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE... BUT NOT LIKE THIS...Live and breath your USP, don’t be put off by others who claim to already be doing it.
CONTACTS ARE KEY & OPPORTUNITIES ARE HIDDEN “We never apply for funding from people we don’t know”.
WOULD YOU DO THIS WITHOUT THE FUNDING?
YOUR ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST PROJECTBe sure your pitch is realistic and deliver what you say.
