Getting the charity to say yes for a fundraiser?

Question

ok

i want to have a fundraiser soon

and i've e-mailed a specific chairity that i want to donate too

but they havent replied

so if i call what would i tell them??

Like its for my organization

but its like a club organization (as in we dont have an adult sponsor YET!!!)

So if i call would i use my name and say my organization or just leave that out???

Or should iwait to get a sponsor then call and use my organizations name and give them my sponsors information???

(i'm planning on getting on of my teachers to sponsor it)

Help :(

i REALLY want to have this fundraiser

No stupid answers either >:(

Answer 1

You could just fundraise as a group with your organization, but then make the donation to the charity as a private individual. The money will still be received as a donation, which is what the charity ultimately wants anyway. I did this with a school club. We had a bake sale and raised around $400. A kid in our club had his parents donate $400 online to a charity and we paid back his parents with the money we raised. Good luck :-)
