Car Wash Fundraiser Committee Strategies and Agendas for Meetings

When setting up a carwash fundraiser with your nonprofit group it is important to set up a committee or executive group which will handle all the various components of the carwash. Although carwash fundraisers seem simple there is a lot to them in the organization phase.

For instance there will be issues with staffing the carwash with volunteers, collecting all the supplies, choosing and getting permission to use a location and advanced advertising, signage and flyers.

This is why it is important in advance to have agendas for the meetings and expect to have two or three meetings in the organization phase and one last meeting before the carwash fundraiser to make sure everything has been done. If everyone gets to a carwash fundraiser and there are not enough towels it is pretty hard to wash the cars.

Likewise if not enough students or kids show up to help then the lines get too long and customers will see long lines and simply drive away and therefore you will lose money that you could have made for your nonprofit group and those are funds that you definitely need.

Without proper advanced advertising no one will know you are having a carwash and if you rely solely on those people driving by it may not be enough cars to wash to keep you busy. Please consider all this in 2006.
