They set a goal of hiring an executive director months before the convention. At the convention, committee members gave testimonials and asked attendees to pledge monthly donations during breaks. Speakers emphasized the party's accomplishments with a director and goals for the future. By the end of the convention, over 100 attendees had pledged new or increased monthly donations totaling $40,000 per year. The executive director position was sustained for over a year through these pledged funds.
The Libertarian Party fundraising plan raised $250,000 for Jon Coon's campaign through a systematic, multi-pronged approach. It began with developing a fundraising plan and obtaining contact lists. Jon Coon then met with potential donors individually and at public meetings to pitch the monthly pledge program. Additional funds were raised at events, through ongoing newsletter requests, and a final pre-election push. The plan emphasized continual personal asks of the ideological donor base through various in-person and written channels. It resulted in a high 90% pledge fulfillment rate and successful fundraising.
This document summarizes 10 common mistakes that public relations professionals make when dealing with journalists. These mistakes include following up too aggressively after sending out releases, taking too long to respond to journalist inquiries, not including clear contact information, failing to understand the realities of journalism work, misspelling journalists' names, breaking promises made to journalists, being gatekeepers rather than facilitators, showing favoritism to larger media outlets, and having too narrow a perspective focused on their client rather than the needs of journalists. The document provides examples and advice on how to avoid these mistakes and have more successful media relations.
This document is a campaign manual for Libertarian candidates that provides guidance on effective campaign techniques. It covers preparing to run a campaign by setting goals and laying groundwork. It discusses organizing the campaign team by developing strategy, creating a campaign plan and timeline, managing budgets and staff. It offers tips for reaching voters through precinct walking, public appearances, phone banks, paid and earned media. It provides guidance on organizing petition drives and getting out the vote. The manual aims to help Libertarian candidates run effective, organized campaigns.
Talk radio can be an effective way for libertarians to spread ideas to the general public, but it requires preparing concise yet engaging messages. Callers should listen to shows beforehand to understand formats and hosts, and edit remarks to less than 90 seconds. It's also important to be entertaining rather than just reading articles, and to discuss topics passionately. While small market shows allow more airtime, both agreeing and disagreeing hosts can spread libertarian ideas if discussions remain respectful.
This document is a quarterly status report for a state Libertarian Party chair. It includes a checklist of core activities like having a strategic plan, website that can accept donations, and ability to put candidates on the ballot without assistance. It also includes metrics on membership, organization, resources, electoral success, and communications outreach. The report collects data on items like revenues, expenses, member numbers, and advertising spending to measure the state party's performance.
The document provides a campaign plan template for a Libertarian Party candidate running for city council in Berkley, Michigan. It includes sections for goals, strategy, research conducted on the district and opponents, targeted voters and messaging tactics, a timeline, and budget requirements. It emphasizes the importance of a formal campaign plan to demonstrate seriousness and provide guidance. It also includes a sample of research conducted on the Berkley district and a draft strategy and tactics section tailored for the Fred Collins campaign.
The document provides tips for running a successful voter registration and outreach table at local shopping malls. It recommends contacting malls to request a table, having multiple activists work shifts to keep enthusiasm high, distributing materials like the Nolan Quiz to attract interest, collecting contact information from interested individuals, and thanking activists to motivate continued involvement. The overall goal is to promote the Libertarian Party through friendly outreach and build name recognition in the community.
The document provides a summary of Robert's Rules of Order, which establishes common rules and procedures for orderly meetings. It aims to allow the majority to decide while respecting the rights of the minority. Key points of order and procedures are outlined, including how to make motions, amend motions, limit or extend debate, and raise points of privilege or order. The fundamental right of deliberative assemblies is that all issues must be thoroughly discussed before taking action.
The document outlines the key requirements for a successful fundraising campaign:
1) A compelling case must be made by clearly articulating the community need, the organization's plan to address it, who will carry out the project, and when it will take place.
2) A strong case for support, realistic fundraising goal, and previous fundraising success are needed.
3) A sufficient number of qualified and major gift prospects who are likely to donate must be identified early.
4) Strong staff support, resources, and full commitment from the board and effective volunteer leadership are critical to a campaign's success.
This document provides instructions for raising $2,500 for a political campaign within 7 days through direct, in-person requests to friends, family, and local businesses with whom one has a relationship. It recommends making a list of such contacts and their estimated incomes to determine request amounts between $50-$500. The approach involves brief, casual requests explaining the campaign and asking for a donation, with suggestions for addressing concerns or objections to donating. Reciprocation of past or future business spending is also proposed as a request rationale. Scheduling fundraisings for brief periods each day over 7 days is recommended to reach the $2,500 goal quickly through a high-volume personal approach.

It also offers recommendations for follow-up activities like an introductory presentation to further engage identified libertarians.
This document provides 36 tips for getting more media coverage from various media professionals. Some key tips include putting a human face on stories, localizing stories, avoiding an insular "beltway mentality," being immediately accessible to reporters, providing newsworthy updates regularly, and writing catchy headlines and leads for news releases.

Raising money at LP banquets &
Activist Library
special events
Manuals and
Handbooks It's become traditional to raise money at convention banquets and similar
events, and for good reason. These events represent occasions where large
Libertarian numbers of Libertarians are all together in one place.
Volunteer
There have been many examples of successful fundraising at these events --
and, unfortunately, many examples of fundraising attempts which were not
successful. The difference hasn't been accidental. Fundraising succeeds or
fails according to the preparation that's gone on before it. Successful
banquet fundraising usually follows these guidelines:
1. Pledge/contribution cards and envelopes are ready and on the tables
before the banquet starts. This is absolutely essential, since it makes no
sense to ask for money without providing a means to respond.
2. The fundraiser -- the person making the "pitch" -- should identify the
need, set a fmancial goal, and ask a specific minimum contribution from
each person there.
3. As a general rule, there is a formula which can be used to set the
financial goal for a typical event. Multiply the number of people in the
room by $25.
4. Two or three should be assigned the task of collecting the pledge cards
and envelopes. They should visibly circulate around the room, asking each
table of people if there are any envelopes to be collected.
5. The fundraising portion of the event should have a predetermined pace.
For example, the fundraiser makes the appeal, sets the goal, asks for the
amount, and signals the collectors to begin making their rounds. While the
envelopes start coming in, it's often a good idea to have another person say
a few words, in order to vary the program and keep the interest of the
audience. Then the principal fundraiser can come back and make the fmal
appeal.
6. When possible, obtain commitments from several people ahead of the
event to make significant contributions which can be announced as the
fundraising starts. Being able to say "Joe Smith has already pledged $200
toward this important effort" will set the tone for subsequent contributions -
- people will then tend to give their maximums.

7. Consider having party members who can play the piano or guitar, sing,
etc. provide entertainment between the initial pitch and the wrap-up.
Sometimes this can be an incentive for more contributions: "If we get four
more pledges of $25, Sally here will play 'Lady of Spain.' " This idea was
enormously successful at a Florida state convention, and has worked well
since. (As a variation, some people may be willing to pay not to hear Sally
play "Lady of Spain. ")
8. Fundraising gimmicks, such as auctions, require someone who knows
what he or she is doing to be pulled off successfully. '
9. An Oregon experience illustrates a variation on good banquet fundraising
technique. The party needed $400 per month for a headquarters, so the
fundraiser announced that he needed twenty people in the audience to raise
their hands and pledge $20 per month for the next six months. As hands
started to go up, the fundraiser ticked off the number of people he still
needed -- "OK, I need eight more people. Now six." etc. -- until the goal
was reached.
Summary and Conclusions
Of the thousands of methods of successful fundraising -- whether they
involved phone calls, direct mail, one-time-only contributions, monthly
pledgers, wealthy people, not-sa-wealthy people, experienced fundraisers,
or novices -- the essential ingredient to the success of the effort can be
summed up in one word: ASK.
Unless people are willing to ask other people to contribute money, no
fundraising will be successful. There is no substitute for asking, no "easy
way" to get the money party organizations need. But successful fundraisers
attest that, after the first few approaches have been made, asking for
contributions gets progressively easier because the success rate among
Libertarians is usually so high.
