15HOBY Student Fundraising Guide
Introduction…
Welcome to the HOBY Student Fundraising Guide!
A strong leader
embodies a few character traits that set them apart from all others.
Initiative, determination, and courage – these are just three, but are three of the most
important qualities a leader draws upon when it comes to fundraising for any project or
goal. To nurture your growth as a leader, HOBY encourages you to put those skills to
practice to finance one of your goals, whether that be participation in one or more of
HOBY’s programs, or accomplishing fundraising goals for an organization or idea that
you have launched in your own community.
In this guide
you’ll find a LOT of great fundraising ideas and information! Feel free to
gravitate towards those sections that you feel will benefit you the most in your own
personal fundraising endeavors. There are so many different ways to fundraise, but you
must find what works best for you. Your hobbies, interests, strengths and personal
connections can all improve your fundraising strategy. So think of this guide as your
fundraising menu from which you can choose the ideas, methods, tips, and tricks that are
most suited and relevant to your needs. The purpose of this guide is to give you the tools
you need to raise the funds for your HOBY experience, and to hopefully help you
establish a foundational understanding of fundraising!
Why do we fundraise?
Fundraising requires a unique talent: convincing businesses
or individuals that investing in your goals is worthwhile. Why should someone write a
check to assist you in furthering your ideas? Fundraising is the opportunity to create buy-
in from those around you, and build a community of support through the goals you set for
yourself.
