As budgets tighten, the old ways to raise a few dollars here and there - candy sales or car washes - may no longer fill your school's budget void. What's more, after a few years of traditional fundraisers, you are faced with a customer base which has had its fill of cookies and has closets stuffed with rolls of wrapping paper. Today, educators and parents with little or no previous fundraising experience are called upon to raise significant sums of cash. Whether your fundraising program is a frustrating failure or a savvy success, will depend on your general plan, your organization, your resources, and yes, your energy level!
