I just started working with a fundraising company that was appointed by an important veterans organization to help raise funds for the troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The executive director is amazing, she knows so many people and is inspiring.

My problem is that I can’t find anyone to get on board and I don’t get paid unless I raise funds. I have contacted all kinds of organizations across the countries to no avail. This is a nationwide initiative and I’m losing time and money.

The troops keep me going because they are so brave and selfless. I attended a benefit for disabled troops 10 days ago and I finally saw a product of what I could achived with all the time I spend trying to find sponsors. One day I will have my own fundraiser.

But until then, I’m running out of money and I need some good suggestions of organizations or individuals that will sponsor an event. Your troops will be greatful.
We are a new company and our site is still a little bare, supporttaskforce.com. We are affiliated with the Vietnam Veterans of America and Vietnam Veterans Assistance Fund. We were featured in the Veteran, the VVA publication on page 4. We also just helped welcome troops from Walter Reed at a pizza party last week before the Achilles Hope & Possibilities Run in NYC.
All donations go directly to the VVAF for programs and services. We are paid by the VVA not from the funds we raise.
These programs will benefit the troops in mental and physical health services, career counseling services, homeless services, and services for the disabled.

Our nonprofit organization is doing a bit of fundraising for an event at the end of summer, and we need some sort of graphic like a thermometer to track our progress. We want to get people really excited about this event, and we feel that a thermometer would be kind of a buzz killer due to it’s unoriginality hehe So, if you have any ideas on a more original tracking system, we would would definitely appreciate it = )

Thank you so much!

P.S. This is a youth program, and it would be great if the tracker could reflect that.

I’m trying to organize some fundraising and volunteer projects for my youth group at church. I’ve tried volunteer match and others like that but they dont seem to be the right fit like a lot arent for big groups or are too time specific. Any ideas?

Fundraising for my club that I am about to start (See my other Questions). It is for charities around the neighbourhood and would raise a lot of money. Please give legitimate activities only. Thanks
Something that would raising money for the community and benefit it. That wouldn’t cost a lot of money to organize.

I am the co-president of a great club in my high school called “Smile Train”, which is an extension of the organization itself. I was just looking for ideas, because our club, though growing larger slowly, is still small and sometimes the senior members (all seven or eight of us) have a hard time thinking of fundraising ideas for our little club. Most of the proceeds have to go to the organization (okay, all of them- I still have to check up on that) and we just really want to make a big difference on the school community and the town we live in. Thanks for any suggestions!
