What do you do?

Ask your members to think about your club’s positive impact on your community so that when they are asking for money they’re representing the very best aspects of your club
You want to be able to say more than just “Oh we just kick a football around.”
You want people to really understand what your members gain philippines rcs data from participating and how that can positively impact the community. Kevin gives this example:
“We organise training, social activities, and games so that they can participate in sport in a safe, nurturing way because we believe that the young people of our community deserve to have a place where they can come together, feel a sense of identity, get physically fit… This is about teamwork, this is about unity, it’s about belonging, it’s about self-esteem, mental health, physical fitness.”
This says far more about your club than just stating what sport you play or the activity you teach.
Why should they care?
When you’re speaking to a potential giver, they need to be given a reason why they should care.
Maybe they’re not aware of the importance of the history of your club and its standing in the community. Maybe they’re a football fan, not a rugby fan, so find a way to link it back to them. For example, if you’re talking to a local councillor, position the club as an asset in combating anti-social behaviour. Kevin gives this example “I’m sure as a local councillor you want good, safe places and facilities to keep the kids occupied and engaged”. If they have their own kids then you could say something like,” … as a father of two young boys in this community, I’m sure that you would want to make sure that as they get older, they have a place where they can participate with their friends in a safe environment.”
