Ask people for donations. Sounds obvious, right? Then why do so many philanthropy events consist of nothing more than chapter members sitting behind a card table with a change jar? The most common reasons people don’t donate is because they were never asked or, believe it or not, because they were asked for something insignificant. Ask donors for a specific amount and don’t insult them by asking for too little.
Potential donors could include alumni, brothers’ family members, other students and local vendors/businesses. And donations need not only be monetary. For example, ask a local grocery store to donate bottled water or ask local restaurants to provide gift cards as incentives.
