HOW TO MAKE THE RACE A FUNDRAISING SUCCESS
When asking for pledges the key points to cover are:
What is the Human Race?
The event provides an opportunity for all local nonprofits to raise money for their programs and for individuals, business and social groups to support the nonprofit of their choice at a high visibility community-wide event. The Human Race is Santa Cruz County’s largest community fundraiser.
Event day consists of a walk and fun run, complimentary breakfast and lunch, music, carnival games, plus lots of celebration, gifts and prizes after the event.
How are Donations Allocated?
Participating nonprofits and schools receive a minimum of 75% of all monies collected. Nonprofits can increase the percentage by bringing in $10,000 or more. The Volunteer Center retains the remaining balance to help pay for coordinating of the event.
What is the Volunteer Center?
The Volunteer Center promotes volunteerism and strengthens the community by partnering with people, nonprofits and businesses that strive to Be the Difference. The Human Race is only one of the many collaborative projects the Volunteer Center organizes and promotes. Others include Adopt-a-Family, Community Connections, CityServe, Friends Outside, Helping Hands, Graffiti Removal Project, Literacy Program, Transportation Program and more.
Why should people pledge to your organization?
Be sure to communicate the positive impact of your organization and its importance to Santa Cruz County. Emphasize the needs met through the services provided and goals for the future. Setting a clear fundraising $$ goal and earmarking a specific project for the donations to fund will motivate people to pledge. People who raise over $1,000 will be acknowledged at the Awards Ceremony in June.
