How to figure your donation option:This page is very in-depth. If you like, we can figure your donation options for you. The
following explains some of the various donation methods and options. The
Option that you choose will be printed on complimentary signs-one for your
donation table and our cashier cage. When
choosing your donation option, first have an idea of the amount of funds you
want to raise versus the number of expected contributors and value of prizes. To
figure the suggested cash donation amounts (to raise your funds) is very simple
and can still be changed depending on the circumstances. First, plainly figure the minimum amount of funds needed to raise including services and prize costs: Example: $5,000 Next, figure the amount of contributing attendees (not necessarily the amount of invitations sent out): Example: 100 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Divide
the amount of funds to be raised by the contributing attendees.
Example: 50 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This
is the suggested minimum donation amount: Example: $50. (From
this amount you can make changes depending on anticipated additional amounts
that attendees may contribute throughout the duration of the event. We’ll
figure that later.) As mentioned earlier, we provide you with two signs for your donation table and our cashier cage. These signs list the suggested donation amounts for the contributors (guests). You may print your worksheet when you are finished. If you refresh your browser, your worksheet will be cleared. Lets build your sign: Enter the suggested minimum donation amount ($50 from example above) below in the shaded area under “Cash Amount Donated”. Cash Amount Donated
$
Amount of “Funny Money” received Example: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next we need to figure the Amount of “funny money” contributors
will receive. (The amount will not affect the funds that you raise except
for increase them!) Multiply
the Cash Amount Donated by 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10.
(The lower
the number, the more funds that you will raise because contributors will donate
more monies for additional “funny money” more frequently. The higher
the number the less additional funds you will raise because contributors will be
given enough “funny money” initially and will not return as often for more
“funny money”.) Example: 5. We recommend multiplying the Cash Amount Donated by no more than 5. PLEASE NOTE: YOU CANNOT MULTIPLY BY LESS ON EACH LINE THAN YOUR PREVIOUS LINE (because guests will receive less of a percentage of funny money per amounts donated). Example: 50 X 5 = $250. Enter your
Cash Amount Donated and the Amount
of Funny Money Received below. Cash Amount Donated
$ Amount of “Funny Money” received
Example: If
you want just one set Cash Amount Donated AND one $ Amount of Funny
Money received with no varying amounts, SKIP BELOW TO OPTION#1a. Now to add the other amounts: Under Cash Amount Donated you will increase the amounts by denomination. Go up to the highest amount that you will suggest to be donated. If you are coordinating an upscale event, you may go as high as you feel is acceptable. Enter
amounts below. Cash Amount Donated
$ Amount of “Funny Money” received Example: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next, multiply each of the Cash Amounts Donated by the same number as you did previous. Enter
Amounts of Funny Money received below. Example: 5 Cash Amount Donated
$ Amount of “Funny Money” received Example: Enter
all amounts above. You can make your changes now. Different Cash donated Amounts can be entered. Also varying amounts of $
Amount of “Funny Money” Received can be entered. Examples: ...or even... Cash Amount Donated
$ Amount of “Funny Money” received ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you have the sign done. If you are unsure about your previous amounts, you can still make changes. Look over the following options. Donation Option#1 is from the previous examples. If you skipped part of the worksheet then Option#1a is for you! Option#1a is with one standard suggested donation amount with a set amount of funny money received, no varying amounts. Donation Options
#2-10 are our own custom options designed to best suit all different situations,
Option 10a allows you to customize your own amounts. Choose the option that
suits your needs. Option #1 Figure your amounts now or look over the following different options. Remember that the Cash Amount donated can really be any amount
and can be multiplied by 1-10 to come up with the $ Amount of “Funny Money” Received. Cash Amount Donated
