Fundraising
Our fundraising course will help your campaign organization or charity
achieve your financial objectives.
Almost no one likes asking for money. When candidates decide to run for
office, their vision is on the glamour aspect, making speeches, ripping
the opponent to shreds in debates, and cutting TV commercials. But money
is what wins elections. While financial underdogs do occasionally pull
off upsets, money is the single most dominating factor in the vast majority
of campaigns. In virtually every race that candidates have won, they have
out spent their opponents.
Political campaigns and political fund raising are normally chaotic processes.
Province wide, local, industry, special interest or peer group and employee
fund raising committees bring order and structure to that process.
Success in raising money depends upon your ability to build an orderly
program that asks certain people for specific dollar amounts in a particular
way in a given period of time.
Our fundraising course will help your campaign organization or charity
achieve your financial objectives.
