Approaching a potential supporter:

The manner in which a potential donor is approached may determine whether or not a donation will be made. Try this simple but effective approach:

"Hello, my name is ____________, and I'm raising money for ___________. Would you like to support our cause by donating  ___________? Thank you for your generosity, and have a nice day."

 
Key things to remember:

  • List as many potential donors as you can before you begin approaching people for support. Start with family and friends, and then proceed to your neighbors and other people whom you feel would be interested in your cause.
  • Know why your group is holding the fundraiser, and communicate this to potential donors. For example: "Our group is raising money in order to finance our trip to the annual tournament."
  • Smile, be polite and most importantly, be enthusiastic about the cause.
  • If possible, always carry your sponsorship card with you.

I really hope that this is of some help in attaining your target. Should you require any more help don't hesitate to e- mail the Bike 2 Belarus team.
