1. Leadership
Leaders will help set a positive direction for the group through their attitude, decisiveness and actions.

4. Communicate Effectively
Planning out meeting dates for the entire fundraising campaign in advance will help the team to communicate regularly and make progress. As you get closer to the event, additional meetings may be necessary.
It’s helpful for leaders to understand which method of communication works for individual members and for the group as a whole, whether it is by telephone, e-mail, in person meetings or a combination.
5. Be Flexible
While you may try your best to plan everything out in advance for the fundraiser, changes are inevitable. Some volunteers may need to drop out for personal reasons, or you may find that the fundraising plan needs to be revised. When team members, especially leaders, are open and flexible your group can adapt to the changes and regroup in time to still make the fundraiser a success.
Positive Teamwork Brings Results
By organizing and running the fundraising program with a group of people, supporters can combine talents and resources to raise more money. When your fundraising drive is over, each person who participated can feel a sense of accomplishment that their contributions, no matter how small, made a difference.
