This is a comprehensive, multi-faceted “nuts” and bolts” approach that can provide you and your organization the tools necessary to conduct creative fund-raising in your school or community. Kiss the “bake sale” approach goodbye and focus on less events with significantly increased results.

General athletic department fund-raising, sport specific fund-raising, general corporate partnerships, special event corporate partnerships and creative multi-party sponsorships will all be covered in the full seminar. Your organization will learn how to measure your program benefits by studying such things as the positive economic impact of your athletic program on your institution and community.

Optional Components:

• Summer Athletic Camps
• Fund raising for capital construction, planned giving, annual fund-drives, and endowments
• Follow up consultation to ensure successful fundraising implementation

This topic can be delivered as a speech and will be tailored to your specific needs based on your specific level of progam fund-raising.

The speech will focus on:

• Defining comprehensive fund-raising
• How all your groups benefit
• Dispelling myths and reducing anxiety
• Applying sophisticated fund-raising techniques and strategies

This speech is typically delivered in a time frame of 30 minutes to two hours depending on the level of customization and client needs.

Prior to the seminar, the RMACS and you will be in direct contact so the RMACS can learn more about your organization and customize the seminar to your needs. Additionally, RMACS will request an inventory of current fund-raising programs and details to further understand the state of your organization.
