Fund-raising
Raising funds is a necessity in any organization. Fundraising
income is commonly used by Delta Epsilon Chi chapters
to carry out chapter projects and activities and to attend
conferences. A well-planned sales project or fund-raising
campaign will not only generate funds for the chapter,
but it can also give a very meaningful learning experience
for chapter members. Below are some suggested guidelines:
Assess Your Funding Needs
Before you begin any fund-raising, be sure to set a goal
of how much money you will need to raise to carry out
activities. Consider what activities, conferences and
events require money. Then, develop a budget for each event. Sample ICDC Budget
Investigate Fund-raising Options on Campus
Ask your student activities office on campus about what
types of fund-raising activities are allowed. Be sure
to abide by all regulations regarding fund-raisers because
many campuses have restrictions on items that your chapter
may want to sell. For example, if your chapter is considering
selling candy bars, check to see if there are any restrictions
because the same type of candy may be sold in campus vending
machines and the vendor may have exclusive rights on those
items.
Quick and Easy Fund-raisers
Know a few college students who hate to clean their dorm room and/or apartment? Well,
you can capitalize on their dirtiness! Check out the Dorm Busters Fund-raiser
for details on how your chapter can set up a fund-raising program targeted at those who don't like to
clean up after themselves.
