Unit II Course Project

Sport Fundraising Plan: Sections 1 and 2

The final project in Unit VII requires that you submit a sport fundraising plan. This detailed plan will be based on the proposal you submitted in Unit I, and the plan will outline the fundraising campaign/event of your creation that will support a sport program. A fundraising plan can take many forms; however, for this assignment, a template has been provided for you to use. The information found on pages 19–30 in your textbook regarding the structure and content of a fundraising plan may not look exactly like the template (below) for the assignment, but the information may still provide basic information about what should be included in your fundraising plan.

You will begin by using the sport fundraising plan template. Clickhere to access the template. (If you have difficulty accessing the sport fundraising plan template, or if you have questions about what part of the template you should be completing in each unit, contact your professor for assistance.)

Be sure to review any suggestions or feedback provided by your professor in regard to the proposal you submitted in

Unit I. Using the provided template (above), you will complete the sections as assigned in Units II-VII; in each unit, you will submit the most up-to-date version of the template, which should contain the newly added sections as well as any sections completed in previous units. In Unit VII, you will add your table of contents and make any final revisions before making your final submission.

For the Unit II Course Project, complete Sections 1 and 2 in the sport fundraising plan by using the template above, and submit the document for grading. Each section should be a minimum of one page in length.

Section 1: Explain who the campaign/event will benefit, what the proceeds will go toward, and where the event will be

held. (Example: ABC Organization will hold a 5K event in Your City to raise money for underprivileged children who

wish to participate in XYZ sport. ABC Organization has held events for the last decade, and the organization’s successes are XYZ.)

Section 2: Explain why fundraising is necessary for your sport fundraising campaign/event. Consider adding statistics from

past research that represent the actual need. (Example: ABC Organization wants to raise funds for children who need assistance paying for local club sports teams due to economic and demographic circumstances. Approximately, 33% of children interested in local club sports come from families who fall below the poverty line.)

Please consider the following as you complete the assignment:

Content should be highly relevant, informative, and remain on topic. All assigned tasks should be addressed and proficiently completed.

Unit II Essay

Imagine that you are the athletic administrator for the campaign/event you chose in Unit I. As the athletic administrator, write an essay on the selection process for assembling an effective fundraising department.

You will first write a brief introduction about the fundraising department for your chosen fundraising campaign/event. Discuss the size of the team, the number of committees that will be needed, the number of volunteers that will be needed, and the resources that will be needed for the campaign/event.

Also, athletic administrators have to follow a three-step process, which involves conducting preliminary evaluations, reviewing resumes, and conducting interviews. Keeping this in mind, you will write 10-15 interview questions to ask in order to select the members for the fundraising event. For each question, give a brief explanation of why you need to ask that question.

Your introduction, interview questions, and justifications for the questions should be a minimum of two pages in length.

You may use the textbook, online sources, articles from the CSU Online Library, and/or resources from your local library to support your essay.

When writing your essay, please consider the following:

Your introduction should be engaging and should clearly summarize the topic.

Your discussion should display critical thinking about the topic and use transitions correctly. Your ideas and points should be organized and presented logically.

Your writing should be clear and concise with excellent use of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. You should use APA format for all of your work.

o A title page and reference page should be present.

Opinions can be included; however, first person should not be used.
