Daycare Fundraising
Daycare fundraisers are a parent’s initiation into the fundraising arena. In most cases they have never done a fundraiser before. Some parents can get frustrated with daycare fundraising because in many cases they are already paying a significant amount of tuition for the daycare. It is easy for parents to feel they are being “put out” because they feel the tuition should cover the costs of daycare programs. With daycare fundraisers, obviously the parents will handle the fundraising efforts because the children are too young to do it themselves. Daycare fundraisers should be a way to get parents involved in the lives of their children while still serving to raise money for the cause. Art based fundraisers are typically popular among daycares because the parents do not feel they are being asked to do too much work.
It is important not to turn parents off to fundraising with the daycare program. In many cases this will be their first introduction to fundraising and you do not want to leave a bad taste in their mouths for the process.
