Tips on How to Raise a Million Dollars
Sick of selling chocolates? Tired of washing cars? Wouldn't we all (especially those into fundraising) love to figure out how to raise a million dollars.
It would be arrogant to say that TacoTrivia Fundraising is anywhere near this million dollar target, but there are things we are learning on the way, that will help us to raise lots of money in the future.
Below are some tips that will help you move along the path towards million dollar fundraisers.
Tip 1 - Are you part of an existing network, if so leverage the influence of this network
If you are part of Scouting, for instance, then there are probably 100 Scouting Groups in a particular geographical area. If all those 100 Scouting groups work together, and run simultaneous fundraisers, you can raise a lot of money and raise a lot of profile. If those hundred Scouting Groups were able to raise $10,000 each, you have a million dollars.
A little simpistic sure, but here are some other tips to think about.
Tip 2 - Learn to network, build connections
If you are part of a business, there may be other businesses in other states. If you are in the right leadership position, you may have authority and ability to connect with other leaders. Network with these people. Send emails. Get to know them. Float ideas with each other. Skype each other. http://www.johnchow.com/ for instance is someone worth networking with. He'll show you how to make money online.
Tip 3 - Share the Vision
If you want to raise a million dollars you need a lot of vision. You need a cause that will have thousands of people supporting. Sending the Soccer team to Jamaica probably won't be a cause thousands will support. Eliminating Ovarian Cancer might though. Once you have the cause, let people catch onto it, especially those in your networks.
Tip 4 - Implement a Project Management Team
Now, to raise anywhere near a million dollars, you will need an influential, dynamic project management team, that will initiate the project/fundraiser and that will see it through to completion. Have CEO's of Businesses, well-known artists, Council leaders, on your project management team. In the first meeting, discuss the aim of the fundraiser or idea, and explore in depth the cause of what you are raising for, and some early thoughts on strategic direction.
Tip 5 - Launch off a large influential strategy
If the RSL have groups in most parts of the country, then have every one of those groups doing a Door-Knocking campaign, for example. With everyone working together, and the large vision being communicated at all times you are well on the way to raise lots of money.
Tip 6 - Leverage the influence of Media in all its forms
Well, it might be a Television campaign, or a large Twitter advertisement, Facebook, MySpace, Local Radio, WebAds, Newspapers, Billboards... There are lots of ways to advertise, promote and market your cause. To raise a million dollars, you probably need a fair bit of existing capital to start.
Feel free to comment and provide some advice to our readers on how to raise a million dollars.

Which sex is better at trivia?
Here's a trivia question for you? Which sex is better at trivia?
Is it the male sex? Or the female sex?
If a trivia night has a sport round, the male normally wins hands down. There always seems to be questions about Formula One, Holden or Ford, or NBA, or soccer and the like.
Now the female counterpart seems to nail the entertainment round. She's got the questions on Hannah Montana sorted out. She knows the stories of Britney Spears and Madonna, and which artist married which movie director.
So, the question on which sex is better at trivia... Well, maybe they are just as good as each other. Maybe the males and females need to work together, and they'll acheive more. I believe this is called synergy.

Fundraising Sites - Tips on raising money for your cause
www.fundraisingideas.com.au is jammed packed with lots of ideas for a successful fundraiser. Aimed at primarily Australian fundraising, its worth a look if you live in Australia.
Free fundraising Idea Centre is also full of ideas for your next fundraiser. Check it out here. They promote the idea of having a website made for you for free which sells magazine subscriptions and you receive 40% of the profit. The site claims that you should go for it, because most households have 2-3 magazine subscriptions already. Hmm... not sure about the accuracy of that, but it still could be worth a try.
Another Australian Fundraising Site is www.fundraisingdirectory.com.au. What about custom labelled water? I wonder whether this is more of a marketing strategy for companies, or whether this would actually be a viable fundraising strategy.
God bless you on your next fundraising initiative.

Tips on How to Run a Successful Fundraising Trivia/Quiz Night
Here are TACO Trivia's Top 5 Tips on "How to Run a Successful Fundraising Trivia/Quiz Night"
Tip #1 (How to run a Successful Fundraising Trivia Night) - Advertise like crazy
There are many ways to advertise a Trivia Night. Here's a list of some standard and creative ways:
* Facebook - Load up a new event. Put it on your 'wall'. Put it on your status updates
* Twitter - Just twit about it everyday. Put a link on it to a webpage, or your facebook.
* Email - Try emailing the local Council members and the local Council Youth worker, and the Non-For-Profit sector of the community. Ask them to forward the advertisement on. Many of these workers already have mailing list that they forward newsletters on to. Email your local Parliament member.
* Flyers - A4, A5, A3. Put the flyers up at shops, at local schools, letterbox drop the flyers
* School Newsletters. Usually a quick email to the appropriate person works, and if you don't know the right email address, just ring the admin office of the school.
* Local Radio - It is much easier to get a quick advertisement onto local radio. Some radio stations will even interview you, if the cause of the Trivia Night is news worthy.
Tip #2 (How to run a Successful Fundraising Trivia Night) - Have a Cause - Raise the profile of the Cause
If you want to spark interest, and if you wish to raise a lot of money, you need to communicate to people the cause of the trivia night. The stronger people's connection to the cause, or the stronger you can build people's passion for the cause, the greater the night will be. When people open up their heart to what the night is supporting, they generally open up their wallet as well. It can be frustrating to think that people won't just give you lots of money if you tell them 'I'm raising money for...' But if you share a story or two, or real life people or events that have changed things for the better, then people will support the cause more generously.
Tip #3 (How to run a Successful Fundraising Trivia Night) - Don't just rely on entry sales to raise money
Depending on demographics of people within your contact groups really changes how much you would charge people to enter the trivia night. Some groups put on glamorous events and charge $55 a head. Other community groups charge $10 a head and encourage people to book a whole table. To run a successful quiz night, don't just rely on these entry sales. If you have 100 people at your trivia night, and they each have paid $15 to enter, that's $1,500. Think how much disposable income people have in their wallets. Sure, some have nothing, but others are probably willing to let go of another $50 or so if there is a strong enough cause, or reason to do so. Play some fundraising games. Charge for drinks at the bar/counter. Run an auction with donated goods; its amazing how much money people let go of, when they're receiving something or worth, as well as donating to a fundraising cause. Try not to just run games where you are only asking for $1 and $2 coins. Find creative ways to have people donate some more than this.
Tip #4 (How to run a Successful Fundraising Trivia Night) - Good Trivia Questions
Make sure you don't have vague trivia questions that could have more than one answer, e.g. 'What ingredients do you use to make Playdough'? Well, five different people have five different answers and you end up with arguments. Have the appropriate amount of rounds. TACO Trivia Nights tend to have 8 rounds, with 10 questions in each round. Don't let the quiz questions be too hard. Ever sat in the trivia night where the brainy table are getting all the answers, and everyone else don't know ANY of the answers. Have different rounds of questions. For example:
Round 1 - Sport
Round 2 - Entertainment
Round 3 - General Knowledge
Round 4 - Children's Questions
Round 5 - Music
Round 6 - Science
Round 7 - History
Round 8 - Technology
Questions for trivia nights can be found on many websites, including here at TACO Trivia.
Tip #5 (How to run a Successful Fundraising Trivia Night) - Plan well in advance
Ever used Microsoft Project or something similar? You can outline all the expectations for running a trivia night. Start well in advance. Set your trivia night date. Then list all the facets of the trivia night, e.g. advertising, volunteers, finances, running of the night, etc, that need to be completed prior to the event. You could put together a working party, and delegate tasks to each other. Someone could be in charge of advertising, another of collating Trivia Questions, etc.
Well there you have it, TACO Trivia's Top 5 Tips on "How to Run a Successful Fundraising Trivia/Quiz Night".
Hope some of that helps. Feel free to comment, and leave some advice to others.

Time to beef up the TACO Trivia
Well its time to launch off TACO Trivia in 2009. To promote the idea around parts of the world. To raise money to train Cadets overseas. Did you know there is a waiting list for training Salvation Army Cadets in some Third World Countries, because we cannot afford to train these cadets? Some Training College facilities are also less than adequate, and they need our support.
If you read this, and maybe you're from the Eastern parts of the USA, why not considering running your own TACO Trivia Night? Eat some TACOs, play some Trivia, charge people to come along, and raise much needed funds for Training Colleges overseas.
What are you waiting for? Lock in a date. Run the event. Raise the money. Train A Cadet Overseas. You can do it. God bless you.

* An article recently popped up about the TACO Trivia concept in a Mission Newsletter in the USA Central Territory (Perspectives Magazine).
* A Corps Officer in the UK is going to help promote the TACO Trivia inititiave in his areas of influence.
TACO Trivia is going global. We are bound to raise lots of financialy support (& prayer) for Salvo Training Colleges that need our support. Lets put food on the table for struggling Cadets. Lets help fund the electrical power to some facilities. Lets curb the waiting lists for new cadets in some Colleges. It's time to Train A Cadet Overseas!!

TACO Trivia! TACO Trivia! What is it?
TACO Trivia was birthed in Melbourne, Australia, and is about empowering Salvation Army Centres around the World, to raise money for training Salvation Army Cadets in third world countries.

Fundraising Games for a TACO Trivia Night
TACO Trivia Resources - Fundraising Games for a TACO Trivia Night
During a TACO Trivia Night, it would be great to do some fundraising games to break up the continuous trivia, and of course to raise more money for cadets overseas. Here are fundraising game ideas:
· Coin Tower - Simply ask each table to make a coin tower, and the table with the highest tower wins a prize. Just let the people know that whatever they put on the coin tower will be a donation!!
· Auction - If you’re able to find some products to auction, then this is a fun addition to any night. Auction off wrapped up presents, in which the gift is unknown to the bidders.
· Coin toss - Place a prize on the ground. Draw a line a few metres away, and have people throw coins at the prize. The closest coin to the prize, wins the prize. You obviously donate all the coins tossed! (Is this gambling? You decide!)
· Love offering - Feeling like you have a generous crowd that just wants to give? First of all, congratulations. You may like to communicate the cause of the TACO Trivia night (to Train A Cadet Overseas), and then take up an offering. Simple.
· Team Rivalry - Each table pays $5 for their team to play. Have one person from each table come forward and do any of the following:
§ Eating contest, e.g. TACO’s, Breakfast Cereals, Ice-cream
§ Sculling a Can of drink
§ Completing a small puzzle
§ Egg n’ spoon race
§ JUST MAKE SOMETHING UP and make it fun!!
