Re: Corporate fundraising

I would also say to be sure not to focus too much on the machine or your win loss record. Companies want to know that their money is going to a bigger cause, something farther reaching than simply competition.

Focus on what your program does for the kids and the community. We talk a great deal about how money donated to our team goes beyond the members of the team and out to the community.
In terms of the affect on your direct team members, focus on the inspiration, opportunity and changed lives.

This is what gets a company interested! Like everyone else, they want to know that their money is improving their community.
