Common Mistakes
“It could be that
the purpose of your life is
only to serve as a warning to
others.”
Non-Honor Level Gifts
Example #1Metro Chapter made $3,416.10 on their Cupcake Cook-Off
26 Companies sponsored the event
Therefore ... they divided the profits by the number of sponsors …
Each company received credit for: $131.39*
Minimum Gift is set at Honor Roll Level All of a certain “type” of sponsorships are automatically invested, i.e. Hole Sponsors Sponsorship package description includes “an Honor Roll Level/$150 donation, etc. to ASHRAE Research” The Chapter automatically Rounds Up the difference
A Better Way …
THANK YOU!!!
Example #2Metro Chapter was a bit ... slow … in updating their website … and donor listing in thenewsletter … and ordering recognition items
They’re a SMALL chapter! No one wants recognition! Someone else is responsible for the Newsletter & webpage! No one cares!
Except the $1,500 donor who said “No”
Say it Loudly, Publically and OFTEN Websites Newsletter Display Chapter Meetings
Order Recognition items and give them out Contact those that don’t come and ask if you can drop it
off
A Better Way …
Example #3Southland Chapter secured 15 major sponsors &
23 Shoe Sponsors for their Line Dancing Event
Dollars Donated to Research:Number of Donors Recognized:
Major Sponsor was very unhappy to find out that his $1,000 tax deduction … wasn’t, because ASHRAE has no record of the gift.
Taking all the Credit
$15,000!(Southland Chapter)1
Unless it’s your money, don’t take credit for it
Designate set sponsorship levels for Special Events Use Chapter Money to recognize non-monetary sponsors
Please use common sense & think like a donor
No one wants credit for $5
A Better Way …
Not asking
Example #4Hightower Chapter has a Society Leader in theirChapter. A Society Leader who gives everyyear .. fully supports ASHRAE … they write the check, put it in an envelope and it sits there … until he’s asked.
