There are numerous ways to raise money, but they all require some effort. The more you do, the more you increase the odds of getting the money you need.
On this page you will find several suggestions and techniques which can be used to raise money, and each approach can work if you put in serious effort..
Be genuinely appreciative of any money you do get and express that appreciation to your donor.
cavaliers fundraising program
We’ve put together a resource designed to help our members meet their financial obligation and assist with their living expenses as they spend the summer performing with The Cavaliers. We ask that you utilize our fundraising program as all contributions deposit directly into your dues account. Our fundraising pages are simple to set up, and don’t cost you anything! Simply add your headshot and provide a quick write-up about why this is important to you. We’ll then approve your page and you can share anywhere that you can put a link!
Contributions made to individual dues fundraisers are NOT tax-deductible.
SPONSORSHIP
A sponsorship is a direct contribution which is 100% applied toward an individual Member’s Dues, per the contributor's instructions. Sponsorship contributions are NOT tax-deductable, per IRS regulations.
Members are fully responsible for their membership dues responsibilities until sponsorship money has been received by the office. Sponsorship money will not be applied to the members CorpsData account until it collected.
Contributions should funnel directly through the Corps via a check to the Cavalier Office or online transaction at http://give.cavaliers.org/sponsor
