“It takes a village” to make the Northwood Bands program a success. And, as a member of the program, each student has a part in fundraising to support the program. 

What the Expected Fundraising Target Is:

• A way to equally share the band’s overall goal for fundraising across the organization.
• A benchmark by which each band student can measure his/her/their efforts in supporting the whole team.

What the Expected Fundraising Target Isn’t:

• A mandatory fee
• An amount that must be paid/raised in order to participate in the Northwood Bands program
• A number against which Northwood Band Boosters will track individual student’s progress

There are several ways that students can meet their Expected Fundraising Target:

• Pay by cash, check, or credit card – Because Northwood Band Boosters is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, this is considered a donation and could be tax deductible. (Please consult with your financial advisor.)
• Work in the Thrift Shop  – Student can “earn” anywhere from $3.50 to $7.00 per hour toward their Expected Fundraising Target by working with these organizations.
• Participate in Northwood Band Boosters fundraising – There are various events, sales, and other activities held throughout the year. When students volunteer and help out with these, the money raised will help them meet their targets.
• Employee Match Program. Does your employer offer a donation matching program? Most companies will match an employee’s gift to a charity one-to-one, but others match gifts two-to-one, and sometimes more. To find out if your company has such a program, Check the Employee Match Programs.
• Shop at Harris Teeter – Specify Northwood Bands on your accounts and you’ll earn money for the band with every purchase. Details can be found on the Fundraising Page on the website.

If you have a questions, please contact the Northwood Band Fundraising Officer at northwoodbandfundraising@gmail.com or Northwood Band Boosters President at northwoodbandpresident@gmail.com or Northwood Band Boosters Treasurer at northwoodbandtreasurer@gmail.com. 

We hope to encourage all band students to do their part to reach the Northwood Bands fundraising goal. We’re all in this together and we look forward to working with you all to make it a great year for Northwood Bands.
