Tonight I joined the conference call with a few board members and another member to discuss corporate sponsorships and motivating our member base to participate in a letter writing campaign and support our efforts to raise more money.
One best practice I've learned in my job and in my Master's is that asking for money requires that you have a buy in from your member base, and that you need to provide your potential donors with relevant and compelling information about what their money will go to.
My new task for the coming weeks is to create a portion of our fundraising package which will tie the monetary amount we're asking for to the cause we're supporting. For example, one donor level will be $12,000, because every year, 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer. Tenfold Forty's President is going to reach out to the doctor at Johns Hopkins Center for Cervical Dysplasia that we work with to get more statistics on research equipment and other relevant monetary needs that I can work into the packet.
I'm excited!
