Giving Square

I recently went to lunch with a Scoutmaster from a nearby town. We actually met to talk about some other business, but ended up talking about how his boy scout organization could use Giving Square to raise money for their summer camp.

Turns out that this summer they are planning to take their boys to Philmont for summer camp. First, I can’t tell you how jealous I am that they are planning to go to Philmont for summer camp. Second, I realize how much money they are going to have to raise in order to make summer camp at Philmont a reality for these Boy Scouts.

As I talked about how Giving Square could work for a Boy Scout troop looking to go to Philmont, I was amazed that I hadn’t thought about the Boy Scouts before. Ok, I had thought about them some, but for some reason I’d always focused more on the sports fundraising side of things.

Well, I’ve started to change that way of thinking. I’ve already put in a number of marketing efforts in regards to helping boy scout troops fundraise. I’ll be doing a lot more to help boy scout troops as well. After the new year, many boy scout troops are going to be ready to start working on their fundraising so they have enough money for boy scout summer camp. We’re going to be doing everything we can at Giving Square to help boy scout troops reach their fundraising goals.

If you’re part of a Boy Scout troop that needs to raise money for summer camp, fill out this form and we’ll get back to you with more details.

I was recently talking with a friend who’s son is in his school choir. He talked about the fundraisers that the school choir was doing and how much he hated the fundraisers. In fact, he told his son that he wouldn’t be participating in selling that “cheap crap” and made his son take it back.

This friend knew of my fundraising website and asked me if it would work for a high school choir. He then told me how the choir needed to raise $20,000 for the acoustic panels that go behind the choir when they sing. After I recovered from hearing the cost for a choir to purchase these items, I told him that Giving Square would be a GREAT way for a high school choir or really a choir of any sort to raise money.

My friend told me that there were 300 members of the various choirs at this school. That would mean that each choir member would only need to raise $67 to reach their fundraising goal of $20,000. Since the average contribution per supporter is $48 so far, that means each choir member would only need to find 2 people willing to contribute on average.

This is what we’re talking about at Giving Square when we talk about really changing the way that choirs, bands, dance teams, sports organizations, etc raise money.

This is the start of the fundraising revolution.
