Five Guiding Questions as you prepare to fundraise for your pool

 

Q1. Will the community enthusiastically support your mission and vision for the pool?

Educating the community and garnering support is a critical first step to secure funding.

Q2. Who will serve as your key advocates and influencers?

Securing advocates such as politicians, corporate and community leaders and swim team leadership to share your message to funders and the community is critical in the funding process.

Q3. Who will own and run the facility? Will it be team-owned, coach-owned, city- or county- owned or school-owned?

This will help identify your funding sources.

Q4. How will your message be communicated to stakeholders in your community?

Having an effective communications plan is key prior to determining funding sources.

Q5. Are you considering utilizing bond Issues, loans, philanthropy, corporate, private investors, Economic Development Council, and/or convention & visitors bureau (or alternate sources) to fund your pool?

Understanding each source and how to best utilize are crucial aspects in developing your funding plan.
