Fundraisers require many different steps and guidelines to get it done correctly so you can raise the most money possible. Now that you have your budget plan and your theme all done, next comes creating a team or committee that will help you through this process. There are many reasons to establish a committee. It will allow you to share responsibilities with others so it does not fall all on your shoulders. It also involves more members with the cause and allows the word to get out to more influential people. Each member can bring a different element to the committee to enhance your event and bring it to another level then you could on your own. Finally, it provides a a place where issues or topics can be examined in more detail. This allows every issue and topic to be seen at different angles and will ensure that the event as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Creating a committee should be done as early as possible and should most definitely include people that have large networks of friends and important professionals. It will help if there is one or more people that have planning experience as well.  A good diverse mix of people and volunteers will help round out your event and give you the most success possible.  Of course it is important to have a committee with members that are committed and passionate about the cause. This ties them emotionally to the event and you will know that they will be giving their best and wanting the best for the event.
