• Join the Movement from Global Glimpse on Vimeo.

    We went over the Student Guide as a group in our 12/31 meeting.  It is a very helpful tool, and I encourage all of you to review it often.
     
    Everyone needs to complete the Pre-Work for Fundraising on your own time:
    • Each of you should have a journal (and binder?) for our workshops and to take on the trip. You MUST bring this binder and notebook to every workshop.
    • Create a list of contact information (address, email, phone) for 30 potential donors who you can contact to raise funds for your program fee. Consider all of your networks including family members, teachers, friends, parent coworkers, religious communities etc…
    • Design a creative flier to be posted at local businesses and parent workplaces. Flier can be hand drawn or computer graphically designed, but must be engaging and contain information about Global Glimpse.
    • Complete a first draft of your fundraising letter. Utilize the Global Glimpse fundraising letter template in the fundraising guide on pg 5 and add substantial personal information. This letter MUST be engaging and motivating. You need to convince individuals why they should invest in YOU.
    • Brainstorm at least 5 personal or group fundraising ideas. In the next workshop we will turn at least one of these ideas into a SMART fundraising goal.
    • Prepare a 30 second fundraising pitch of your own answering the questions, “Why should I invest in your participation of Global Glimpse?”

    Helpful tools for Individual Fundraising:
    Crowd Sourcing : This promotes a website called Fundly, but in the Student Guide, there was a reference to a similar website called GoFundMe.  One more was just shared with me: Piggybackr.  It's totally up to you whether you use any of these.
     
    Donation Receipt : This is optional, but it's good to inform your sponsors that any donations are "tax-deductible" - especially favorable now at the end of the year.
     
    Donation Tracking Sheet : This is a good habit to get into keeping track of information.  It will help you later when writing thank you letters.
