General Fund Raising

    Many volunteer fire departments find it necessary to raise funds from the community on almost a continuous basis.

    Fund raising seems to now take up most of the time and efforts of volunteer fire departments and is one of the many factors, which discourages the recruitment of new and notably younger firefighters.  Some fund raising activities come with up-front expenses and are high risk investments.

    At VFD-Funding, we've done this all before ourselves, so we know there are various successful ways to plan and to raise funds.  We try to put the "FUN" into "FUNdraising", so that fire departments and their members are not so overwhelmed and over-worked with the process.

    Some of the fund raising methods we help you to develop include:

        50-50 drawings (where legal),
   
    Gun bashes and other prize items drawings (where legal),
   
    Auctions,
   
    Direct merchandise selection and sales,
   
    Carnivals and street fairs,
   
    "Community Days" events,
   
    On-line donations, using VISA/MC merchant accounts
   
    On-line merchandise sales,
   
    Professional press releases and fund drives,   
   
    Corporate donations solicitations,
   
    Benefit concerts and dances,
   
    Grant writing,
   
    Lease application preparation,
   
    Bond sales

    We help you determine which type of fund raising or combination of fund raising may be the most successful to you, with the least effort, the most profits and the least risk.

    In some cases and with certain types of fund raising, we send staff to your community to directly work with you in the implementation of your successful fund raising campaign.

   So contact us at VFD-Funding today or fill out our convenient on-line feedback form, give us your wish list and tell us a little about your organization and then let's see what all we may be able to do for you and your volunteer fire department, rescue squad or EMS service.  REMEMBER, there are NO up front costs or fees required.
