you could start with flyers for volunteers in public access areas, eg grocery stores, public offices etc you could use the same technique for donations. website could be another source of gathering volunteers and donations, a volunteer could make the website too, good luck

Your best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations.\n\nThe best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.\n\nIf you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. \n\nCFDA has several ways to search for grants. I suggest you search by beneficiary and select Private Non Profit Organization and you can find listings of grants available http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show

The first place to start looking for funding is your local hispanic chamber of commerce.  The commerce is comprised of business owners, I'm certain some of the members will be interested in donating time or money.  Before approaching the chamber I would compile relevant documents such as financial reports, pro-forma...etc. regarding this project.  I would also be prepared to pitch your organization.

Call your local, county or state bar association referral service and ask for one. Or call any large law firm, since they are likely to have lawyers doing pro bono work. You may be able to get a referral by calling your area United Way first call or any charitable agency. Most pro bono lawyers only takes cases referred by a screening agency of some kind.

Ask at school, work, or church. You may wish to type up a form letter, make copies, write in individuals' names, sign them, and mail them out.\n\nYou can also sometimes get businesses to sponsor you. They can use it as a tax write off. Write up a nice letter and bring it with you to the store. Ask to speak with the manager. Explain what you are doing and ask if they would be willing to sponsor you.\n\nDon't forget to write thank you notes!

Hit some of your neighborhood strip malls, try some of the stores you frequent. Go in person, though, don't just call them. Ask for the manager and explain your project. Most will donate something. I wouldn't ask for any particular item, just let them donate what they want. You wouldn't believe all the free stuff they'll give you if they know it's going for a neighborood kids group. You should promise that they will get recognition at the auction for their donation, like a sign saying who donated each item.

If you are in the U.S., get in touch with your local senators and representatives (state and federal) and government leaders. If you give them a really big campaign donation, that is even better.

many universities accept body donations, but there is often a fee associated with the pick-up, cremation, etc.  The best site I've found (and the one with which I signed up) is http://www.anatomicgift.com/ - fill out an address  form and they will send you more information by mail

There are several excellent ways. Here's what I would suggest. \n\nFind someone who is well situated in life who may have a valuable piece of art or something else of excellent high value that they would donate to the church for an auction.\n\n Tell the person not only will they be publicly thanked for this but they will also receive a charitable donation receipt. This means they can claim this donation against their taxes at the end of the year.\n\nAnnounce the auction on the radio and everywhere you can. Most radio stations should allow the announcement for free since the church is a non-profit organization. Aloow for several weeks of advertising so you build up a lot of interest in the auction. perhaps announce that a mystery celebrity will conduct the auction and find someone well-known or famous to conduct the auction. Keep it a secret to the very minute the auction begins!\n\nDon't hold the auction at the church but find a large building with plenty of chairs, like a school, where the auction can be held.\n\nPick a good time for the auction. Sunday afternoon after church would be a great time.\n\nI think this might help you. Good luck.

Good luck to you. You'd probably raise more money if you tried to find some 'sponsors'.

I thing you have to contact with the clubs you want to sponsor, you have to Representative a big company or a known  mark, who be the face of the tournament, first putting the money and second doing all the necessary for the organization. if the exactly questions is how to write a proposal, you have to make a formal proposition, but i recommend you an interview(face to face)

First beleive in the cause in which you wish to support.  Take time in selecting a fundraiser.  Make sure that you have others to back you in this choice.  Make sure that it is honest.  You might want to set up a special account with your bank to deposit these funds and keep acurate records of such deposits.  Don't take money from the funds raised to pay off others.\nRunning a raffel gets sticky.  You must register, have the items already to be raffeled off.  Sell only tickets or such that go specifically for that event.  You must have a cut off date for the drawing and I would suggest that you have someone other than yourself doing the actual raffel.  Please check with your state to see if your charity is eligible to become a 501 (c) 3 non-profit charity or organization.  There is a lot of paperwork involved in becoming one and there are fees too.\nHaving a garage/yard sale is an easy one.  Ask others that are interested in this cause to donate items for this sale.  You will propably have success at this type of sale. Bake sales are good, but you better have a good location to set up and have some good items (goodies) to sell (eat). \nGood luck with whatever you choose to do.\nI run a non-profit charity that raises funds by yard sales and we accept donations year round for our cause. Feeding the community is what we do.  We supply food to persons who don't have any in the area in which I live.  We have gone from feeding 11 families to over 200 in less than a year.\nOnce again, Good Luke and may you be blessed for your efforts.
