What’s a Pick a Date to Donate Calendar Fundraiser?

By now you’ve probably heard about the newest fundraising trend to hit the scholastic sports and club scene: the pick a date calendar fundraiser. Perhaps you’ve been asked by a kid in your community to donate day 25 or 26 of their calendar, or maybe your child is on a team that is running a calendar fundraiser and you’d just like to know what you’re getting into. Well, have no fear, the Teamfi Guys have your back on this one!

Here’s the quick summary:

A pick a date to donate calendar fundraiser is a new trend that uses the days of a calendar as donation amounts, with every day representing a donation amount that matches the number of that day. For example, day 25 of that calendar would be a $25 donation for the individual fundraising, and day 15 would be a $15 donation.

Additionally, donating or multiple days adds the donations. For example, donating both days 25 and 15 on a calendar would be $40 donation.

So, what’s the point?

Why use a calendar format if you’re just trying to get donations? Well, the pick a date to donate calendar is a perfect way to set a clear fundraising goal for each individual on the sports team. The goal is for each player on the team to get a donor or “sponsor” for each date on their calendar – 31 total donations for each of the 31 days in a month. With 31 total days, finding a sponsor for each date leaves you with $496 raised for your team. In other words, by using a pick a date to donate calendar it’s an easy way to set a fundraising goal around $500 for each participant.

Another added benefit of running a calendar fundraiser is that it promotes donations of any amount from $1 to $31 (with the added ability to donate multiple days for large donations) which makes it a lot easier on friends and family of the fundraiser participant to show them support.
