Non-profit fundraising is all about multiple streams of income and that’s where you can help. Every dollar
you collect for Habitat’s cause will help house a deserving family in our community. Less than ten cents on
every dollar is used to help pay for the costs of Habitat’s operations. That means for every buck you bring
in, 90 cents goes into housing families. Remember, fundraising is not only about the money; it’s also about
                                                                                                                                   Fundraising Catalog

spreading the message of affordable housing through Siouxland’s Habitat for Humanity. We want to give
you a step by step guide on how you can create a successful, fun-filled fundraiser for our organization.




F
      irst, pick an event that suits the talents and size of your group. Take into consideration the timing of
      your event; what time of year the event will happen, how long it will last and availability of teammates
      and participants. Also, think about how much money, if any, you will have to put forth to conduct the
fundraising event. Your venue will also be a factor in determining what type of a fundraiser is going to work best
for you.




S
     econd, contact Habitat’s volunteer department to inform them of your event and schedule for the
     fundraiser. Some ideas may not be acceptable to link with Habitat’s name, so it is important to pass all
     information regarding the planned fundraiser through Habitat’s volunteer department. You can contact
them at 712-255-6244. Make sure to keep Siouxland Habitat for Humanity involved throughout the planning.




T
      hird, focus your energies in getting your message out to your potential audience of supporters. These
      fundraiser events will do the rest. Make sure to keep your fundraiser centered around Siouxland Habitat for
      Humanity so that supporters will feel compelled to participate in your fundraiser. Also, don’t forget to tap
into Habitat’s resources. Many homeowner candidates who are currently going through Habitat’s program and
those who have already moved into their homes are willing to participate in fundraisers by sharing their story
with a group. If you feel this would help enhance your fundraiser, please call and we’ll put you in touch with a
homeowner or homeowner candidate willing to help. Siouxland Habitat for Humanity also has several photos and
displays that can also be used by your group to help get the message across.




L
     astly, remember to have fun with your fundraising event! Look to create a positive experience for everyone.
     You can do this by including food and entertainment with your fundraiser. Or work with local merchants
     to expand into offering silent auction items of donated goods and services. Hold a follow-up meeting with
Habitat’s volunteer department after the event to give a summary of your fundraiser.

Fundraising Catalog 2011

  • 1. Non-profit fundraising is all about multiple streams of income and that’s where you can help. Every dollar you collect for Habitat’s cause will help house a deserving family in our community. Less than ten cents on every dollar is used to help pay for the costs of Habitat’s operations. That means for every buck you bring in, 90 cents goes into housing families. Remember, fundraising is not only about the money; it’s also about Fundraising Catalog 2011 spreading the message of affordable housing through Siouxland’s Habitat for Humanity. We want to give you a step by step guide on how you can create a successful, fun-filled fundraiser for our organization. F irst, pick an event that suits the talents and size of your group. Take into consideration the timing of your event; what time of year the event will happen, how long it will last and availability of teammates and participants. Also, think about how much money, if any, you will have to put forth to conduct the fundraising event. Your venue will also be a factor in determining what type of a fundraiser is going to work best for you. S econd, contact Habitat’s volunteer department to inform them of your event and schedule for the fundraiser. Some ideas may not be acceptable to link with Habitat’s name, so it is important to pass all information regarding the planned fundraiser through Habitat’s volunteer department. You can contact them at 712-255-6244. Make sure to keep Siouxland Habitat for Humanity involved throughout the planning. T hird, focus your energies in getting your message out to your potential audience of supporters. These fundraiser events will do the rest. Make sure to keep your fundraiser centered around Siouxland Habitat for Humanity so that supporters will feel compelled to participate in your fundraiser. Also, don’t forget to tap into Habitat’s resources. Many homeowner candidates who are currently going through Habitat’s program and those who have already moved into their homes are willing to participate in fundraisers by sharing their story with a group. If you feel this would help enhance your fundraiser, please call and we’ll put you in touch with a homeowner or homeowner candidate willing to help. Siouxland Habitat for Humanity also has several photos and displays that can also be used by your group to help get the message across. L astly, remember to have fun with your fundraising event! Look to create a positive experience for everyone. You can do this by including food and entertainment with your fundraiser. Or work with local merchants to expand into offering silent auction items of donated goods and services. Hold a follow-up meeting with Habitat’s volunteer department after the event to give a summary of your fundraiser. Siouxland Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing in Playhouses Auctions Joy is Found in Giving the community. Since 1992, the affiliate has provided nearly 30 families with a safe and affordable place to live. “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” — Jesus, in Acts 20:35 Through the use of volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds simple, decent housing Home Runs for families who otherwise could not afford it. Homes are sold to the homeowners at no profit on an interest-free Concerts “Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege.” — John D.
