Magazine supports school fundraising
Popular weekly magazine That's Life! wants to give two schools the chance to kick start their fundraising efforts. That's Life! magazine is giving all New Zealand intermediate and primary schools, kindergartens and preschools the chance to win a $5,000 carnival plus $2,000 cash donation to help kick-start their fundraising campaign.
In a special six-week long campaign, That's Life! magazine publishes tokens for readers to collect and donate to their local school. The school, kindergarten or preschool that collects the most tokens over the six-week period wins the grand prize. Entries close on Friday 2nd July.
If a school has under 100 pupils, they can choose to enter the second prize category to win a $1,000 cheque and a That's Life! morning tea for everyone.
Eva Lewicki, editor of That's Life! magazine, says she is thrilled to announce this competition. “I'm so excited! This is a great opportunity for schools to come together and kick start their fundraising efforts. I am sure a Carnival Day, as well as a $2,000 cash donation, will go a long way to help the winning school's community.”
Ms Lewicki adds, “That's Life! magazine is all about community spirit, and being able to give back to the community who have supported the magazine for many years is wonderful.”
Every school, kindergarten or preschool that enters will also receive a FREE subscription to That's Life!, which has a circulation of over 41,000 and readership of 265,000.

Fundraising Tip:
Test and measure everything! Doesn’t matter how
small your fundraising activity – always start as you
mean to go on, with good research, a method of
evaluation and the creation of systems and
processes.
I always say, do one thing and do it well so start off
as if the one thing you are doing is going to grow
and become a regular, successful activity. Start
each activity with some form of evaluation. Test one
fundraising method against another for efficiency
and rate of return. Create criteria for success and
enter into each activity as if you were aiming to win
an award. Right now, visit the Fundraising Institute website
and check out the criteria for winning an award
and then start your planning as if you were filling
in the entry form. What information do you need
to collect? What research do you need to conduct
before you start? How will you measure your
success? What’s necessary to achieve a high
standard?
