One of the best ways to come up with funding sources for your school project is to figure
out how much money you need. When you know how much you are going to need to
accomplish your goals, then you can figure out how much you can use from the school
budget and how much you will need to raise outside of that. This will also free you up to
start planning your fundraising resources mission in more detail, so that you can come up
with time frames for raising the money as well as marketing strategies about your
fundraising event.

Once you establish how much money you need to raise, explore the funding sources that
will work well for your business category. For instance, if you would like to do a
fundraiser for a school, selling baked goods is generally a good idea. You can arrange to
have bake sales during school events or you can do a baked goods catalog sales drive,
which usually consists of utilizing students to sell products.

Looking through an extensive donor database to find donations to help you to meet your
financial goals can help you come up with some additional ideas. You can find a list of
funding sources by collaborating with other nonprofit organizations in your area. These
kinds of donor databases also exist online. You may also be able to ask corporate partners
about their relationships with potential donors in an effort to build your own donor
database.

In the spirit of being prepared, you might consider drafting a generic proposal any time
you know you are going to need significant funds for a big project. This proposal would
consist of a cover letter and summary of your project to give donors the immediate,
condensed information they need to make a decision on a partnership with your
company. More often than not, donors that can act as philanthropists have a more
extensive proposal submission process; however, for those that simply want information,
it's far better to be prepared and armed with too much information than not enough.
After all, the more prepared you are, the more likely you are to get the funding you need
for your next big project.
