One local school’s anniversary dinner is coming very soon.
We plan to attend the function again this year as we did last year as it is my husband’s alma mater. As I have noticed in Malaysia and in Brunei, Chinese schools generally command a very strong and loyal support from their community.
It’s well known that local businessmen play active roles in contributing to the development of the schools and the fact that these schools usually have a large number of students made up of not only the Chinese community but also students from other communities eager to learn Mandarin language means that revenue is expectedly substantial.
Of course it’s also well known that these schools have decades of experiences in getting extra support through fund raising.
So much so that despite the rather high ticket price for these school anniversary dinners, you can expect to be ask for more donations during the function – and most of the guests would not mind it at all because it has been ingrained in them that they must “help the school”.
Anyway, if you are a school or an organisation seeking the best and effective ways to organize a fundraising event, then you can consider the service offered by a company that specializes in easy fundraising programs especially for non-profit organization or schools looking for unique fundraising ideas.
Have a look at the various fundraising products that they have which range from gourmet cookies to online magazine to something that is called silent auction fundraising. Also ask for their Free Info Kit and experiment their fundraising tools such as calculating the profit you’ve made as well as read their free tips and articles.
Now if only this school would organize one of the ideas recommended by this company, fund raising would definitely be more fun and inviting for the rest of us who have no sense of loyalty to the school.
