You have volunteered to organize a fundraiser for your child’s school sports team to purchase new uniforms
You have volunteered to organize a fundraiser for your child’s school sports team to purchase new uniforms. For your event to be successful, you are responsible for all aspects of its management: staffing, planning, organizing, controlling, and leading. The general information known includes:
You have a team of 15 volunteers willing to assist.
$1,600.00 is the cost to purchase the uniforms.
A local fire department has offered its picnic grove for use for free.
Many local businesses (restaurants, bars, retail stores, etc.) have committed to donating goods or services to your event.
The school board has requested you submit a formal proposal detailing each of these aspects and how you will manage/lead the process to completion before they approve the event.
Tips for writing your proposal
Proposals should always start out with the “why†and “what.†Example, state why the need for the fundraiser and what you are fundraising for. Include your school name, the sports team that needs the funds, and how much money you need to raise. This should be your introductory paragraph.
Be very specific in answering the direction questions. Example, describe what local businesses are going to help, explain what exactly each business will donate, and what you plan to do if you raise more than the cost of the uniforms, etc.
In planning, you need to estimate how many people may attend your fundraiser. Why? Because you need to know how much food, tickets, prizes, etc., cost to better plan and be prepared.
References should be on their own page at the end of the proposal with 'References' centered on the first line.
