When searching for sponsorship for your next fundraising event, you of course want to reach as many potential sponsors as you can.  The more potential sponsors you approach, the more “yes” responses you are likely to get.

Many fundraisers assume that people give money for specific causes for “nothing”, but this is rarely the case.  Studies have shown that people who are likely to give money to causes generally do so because they feel they get some “value” from giving.  

Fundraising is about teamwork, and people are often your most valuable resource. If you want to fundraise, you will have to build a team of volunteers to help you with your goals.
