A friend of mine in Colombia started and runs a youth baseball program. He contacted me today asking me if I could help them with fundraising and or the procurement of equipment such as gloves, bats, balls, cleats, tees, etc. I want to help him but I have no experience in finding donors/groups who donate. I was going to send out letters to all of the MLB teams, some of the local schools in my area and some of the latino charity orginazations in my area. I was also going to send out letters to sporting goods companies seeking donations of equipment. Another thing that I was thinking of doing was going to local businesses and seeing if I could leave some kind of donation jar, however Im not sure of the legality of that. My question is, does anyone on here have experience with non profit/ fundraising? If so do you have any advice on the things that I could do? Any advice would be appreciated.
