| Comment | Dude if the charity didn’t make money from it then it wouldn’t continue to do so.
For every £1 shelter spends on fundraising that generates around £4.50

Face to face fundraising is how the charity reaches out to people and it’s not just about getting sign ups. Loads of people I’ve spoken have been having housing problems and can now get help because they were able to talk to someone. Others have had their rent put up recently and didn’t know it was illegal etc.
Fundraising makes up the overwhelming majority of shelters income I have no idea why you think you know better than the fundraisers, the managers and the directors about their own organisation?
Fundraisers are meant to get around 0.2-0.25 sign ups an hour and they become profitable over time because the focus is on long term donors so if you work 100 hours and get 25 sign ups and then you work another 100 hours and get 25 sign ups it’s all cumulative.
Did you really think that you knew better than everyone? |
