Creative Fundrasing Strategy
My mother runs a playgroup and we raised a lot of money last week. It was the town carnival, so they had both a tombola stall and a float. Being a playgroup, they had the 'cute' factor in their favour, as little kids dressed up on a float tends to cause a lot of 'awwwws'.
One tip that I would add though is not to over-do it. There's a local school here, which has taken to asking for donations three or four times a week. The parents (some of whom have smaller ones at the playgroup) have reached saturation point. They're now refusing any demands and, indeed, putting it in the playgroup box.
Bad for the school, great for my mother!
