Group Goal Setting Guide

 Your greatest fundraising asset is the number of students that you have available to help you reach your fundraising goal. Before you kick off your fundraiser make sure that you calculate an individual ‘fair share’ goal for each student. Then at your kickoff ensure that you effectively communicate this goal to your group. By knowing this number you can determine what your potential total earnings will be. Realize that some students may not reach this goal while others will exceed it.

Once you have determined each student’s individual goal make sure that you incorporate additional fundraising incentives that will help them reach their goal and then hold them accountable to staying on track by reminding them to sell. What follows is a profit chart that you can use as a guide to help you set your students ‘fair share’ goal:
