Identify what strengths and skills would be needed to complete the project? What strengths would you yourself bring to the project? Why would they be important? What strengths do you lack that are necessary for success? What kind of people would you need to find? How would you get them to join the team? How would you organize and motivate them once they join the team?

Ans.

        Work group is going to start their work as fundraiser. For these purpose different strengths and skills are required to complete the task because not any project becomes successful without proper strengths and planning and full efforts are also required by the member of the group. Effective fundraising is considered the most complicated part of successful charitable organizations, community organizations and entrepreneurship. For any per4son who wants money to get the benefit from fundraising must appoint professional fundraisers. Fundraiser must know about the legal requirements and knowledge related to independent fundraising. Different sorts of skills are required for professional fundraisers. Successful fundraiser must know all the positions and techniques that make the fundraising more successful. There are some basic skills that must be present in the fundraiser i.e. sales skills, technology skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills, judgment and miscellaneous skills. (DOYLE 2018)

        Many single persons entering in such profession at the start of their career and many people are not aware of qualities and skills that must be present in a person who is going to appoint as fundraiser. So there must be some important qualities which should be present in the skilled fundraiser so that it must aware of all the techniques of donor and achieve its target most efficiently. The list of top ten qualities of a successful fundraiser are: presence, perseverance, high energy, love the work, high expectations, concern for people, hard worker, ability to motivate, good listener and impeccable integrity.

        For fundraisers, it is more than just important to express how strongly they feel about the project on which they are working. Breast Cancer is a very strong issue and needs to be addressed at all costs and people are quite aware of this disease as well. With some powerful interpretational skills, it would be better to persuade the people into playing a part in gathering of funds.

        Personally, I have great confidence, organizational, and planning skills. Thus, I can play an effective role as a fundraising team leader. I cannot only assemble the team members but motivate them as well in order to convey the message and get funds using different ways such as selling some snacks and little accessories.

        My skills and strengths would be important to help the fundraising project because I can optimize the communication skills of the whole team and guide the members accurately in order to convey the mission and never lose the hope while carrying out the mission. Usually, the management of team members is very difficult, however, I know just the right way to make sure that my team never faces problems while going along with the project. I will find the members who are just as passionate about the breast cancer issue as me. The only skill that I lack is the skill of designing, however, I will find a member who can fill out that gap for me.

         The team members that I will require in order to make this fundraising project successful must have the power to sustain a little emotional damage. While meeting different people, it is always not necessary that they will be easy to approach. There will be a diversity of people that the group will have to meet. That is why I require the partners who have the capability of translating and conveying the message even to them in the best possible way. Moreover, I will require the teammates who can easily tolerate their anger and manage it in such a way that no matter what happens, it never becomes visible.

        After meeting such individuals, I will convey the message and the benefits of fundraising projects to them in the best way. With some training, I will make my charisma appear and approach them in an efficient and effective way. Pursuing such amazing partners will not be so difficult because they will be supporting the passion that I have. If they have a situation that prevents them from joining the team, I will help them.

        If there is something that is stopping them from joining the fundraising team, I will sacrifice the time that I have in order to pursue them and use their skills to raise the funds for the issue that has become global over the time.

        Motivating the partners who share the same ideals as mine will be easy to motivate. If they ever are depressed about the lack of results, I will use my logical reasoning and be truthful and honest with them. Nothing will be better than to be honest about the situation with them. If I let them know the true density of situation, I will be able to motivate them for sure. This way I will make my team effective in the fundraising project and make sure to collect the funds.
