I Don't Feel Like I Have Many Contacts For Fundraising. What Should I Do?

First of all, tell Kristi what your financial needs are for the summer. Are you desperate to raise all that you can or is it just a bonus to have extra pocket cash? I just ask in order to know how much direction and effort we need to make together. Here's a few fundraising thoughts...

First, don't decide for anyone else whether or not they can afford to partner with you in this ministry. If they don't want to or can not give, then let that be their decision. You present them with the opportunity by giving them a letter!

PSP is a perfect opportunity to get funds from non-Christian contacts as well. With a little tweaking to your letter, anyone is drawn to helping poor little urban children! So if you have any non-Christian friends or relatives, go ahead and ask them to support you. You may be surprised.

You must have some personal contacts whom could give to you. Start with those who wrote such glowing reviews of you! Teachers, co-workers, club sponsors... The more you ask the greater chance you will have of getting the funds you need.
