1. Enhance Customer Service Skills
Customer services skills are something that everyone, no
matter what industry they’re in or what they’re job title is, should have.
Fundraising allows students to practice their customer service skills. They
will then be able to take these enhanced customer service skills on into their
adult careers.
2. Improve Selling Skills
In addition to customer service, those participating in
fundraising have the opportunity to improve their selling skills as well. Many
careers have some aspect of selling involved, so it’s important to learn these
skills early on in life. Through fundraising students can learn the best ways
to increase sales.
3. Learn Goal Setting
Another great benefit of fundraising is that students learn
about goal setting. No matter what you’re trying to do in life, it’s important
to set goals. When it comes to fundraising, the goal is probably to raise a
certain amount of money that’s needed for an activity or to purchase items.
Other goals might include talking to so many people about the organization,
whether or not it turns into a sale.
4. Ability to Work as a Team
Working with others to achieve a common goal is another
important skill to have. Through fundraising, students are supporting the rest
of the team and working together to raise enough money to achieve their goal.
Fundraising teaches students leadership skills, as well as how to follow a
leader. All of these skills will come in handy during their adult lives.
5. Build Awareness
By getting your name out there throughout the fundraising
process, you are building awareness for your organization. When you try to sell
someone something through fundraising, they want to know what the money is
going to. This is your chance to talk about your organization and its purpose,
and spread the word about it.
As you can see, there are more benefits to fundraising than
just making money for your organization. If you’re thinking about hosting a
