Top 10 Fundraising Tips for Kids

Do keep these guidelines in mind whenever your child is considering pitching in with fundraising efforts!

1. Sell products to family members first (how could they refuse you!)
2. Draw up a list of your potential donors and approach them for their support
3. Explain to your potential donors the purpose of your fundraiser, for example, that you are trying to raise €100 (or whatever amount is achievable for you) to help children who are blind. Would you be interested in helping us reach our goal?
4. Be cheerful and polite at all times
5. Always try to ensure you are with a friend or responsible adult at all times
6. Do not enter people's homes
7. Say 'Thank you' whether they buy or not
8. Empty your collection box/envelope after each fundraising effort
9. Send in all the money you raised to Sightsavers
10. Have Fun! A positive attitude equals better success
