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.)
BSM 3901,
Sport Fundraising 3
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.)

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.
