Calgary Girls Choir: Singing their way to a Successful Choir Fundraiser

Need a fundraiser that works in harmony with your goals?

First, when the Calgary Girls Choir (CGC) began, they had the mandate to provide a program that was as financially barrier-free as possible.

To do this, they accepted that fundraising would be critical to offset costs.

However, they were finding that previous fundraisers had seen their parents: spend countless valuable volunteer hours organizing and executing fundraisers, with varying levels of success and often disappointing results.

When they discovered TeamFund, they were pleasantly impressed by their new and improved successful choir fundraisers.

Since discovering TeamFund, their results have changed immensely for the better. Dominique and her team have spent countless hours:

designing a solid online process that automates and streamlines the fundraising process makes it much more efficient and less frustrating. This is especially true for new (students) coming in year after year;
developing and maintaining strong relationships with local vendors that are leveraged into top-notch service and access to products and delivery times that would otherwise be inaccessible…
working directly with fundraising coordinators of various teams, clubs, groups and schools. Supporting them as much or as little as they need, and giving advice and guidance at every stage to maximize results.

TeamFund has done all this while consistently seeking feedback from their clients…to provide even better results.

Consequently, Nancy and her team have stuck with their new TeamFund routine.

Hitting the High Notes

To illustrate, this successful duet has helped the CGC raised almost $13,000 in the last two years!

Here, Nancy shares the vision for their successful choir fundraising profits:

A portion of these funds will be going towards supporting 29 of our senior choristers as they journey to North Wales, UK to compete in the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. This will be a trip of a lifetime for these girls, full of growth opportunities alongside friends, and one for which each of them has been preparing for years and is thrilled about being able to experience.

Specifically, what the CGC appreciated about TeamFund was it’s easy online platform.

TeamFund's Digital Platform:

allows us to run more than one food campaign per season. Customizing the products we offer to build anticipation for each campaign year over year
makes it streamlined and comfortable for our members to share their campaigns and generate greater interest and higher sales than with a paper process
helps to eliminate costly and confusing manual-entry errors along the way
makes coordinating roles less onerous
helps with retention/recruitment
frees up valuable volunteer resources for other projects and meaningful tasks
results in greater trust, not only in the TeamFund process but also in our internal budget forecasting.

Encore Performance

Finally, due to their successful choir fundraisers, the CGC can continue working to ensure that their dreams align with their financials.

“We are so grateful that TeamFund is present in our community to help serve the fundraising needs of groups like ours – they are a critical tool to help support the operations of and open up opportunities for all sports teams, arts groups and organizations. Without them as a resource, our group (and I’m sure countless others) would suffer direct losses to our fundraising programs.”
