Procurement Tips & Procedures
“We don’t have anything to donate to the auction” is an often-expressed concern. Don’t worry:There are many ways you can secure an item and contribute to the LWGMS auction. And it doesn’t cost you a thing!
Stop While You ShopTake a look at your credit card statements and checkbook – a business you support is more likely to support LWGMS. Start with your favorite neighborhood shops, hairdresser, cleaners, auto mechanic, and restaurants, and when out of town, consider hotels and recreational facilities. Ask these businesses to make a tax deductible contribution to a good cause. We will recognize every donor in the display descriptions, and if requested through sponsorship, in auction newsletters, the auction catalog, and on the school’s website. Making a donation to or sponsoring our annual auction is a great advertising opportunity for any business, big or small. Their message will reach 200+ of Seattle’s finest the night of the auction, and countless others on our website!
Family and Friends MatterDo you have a particular talent or service to share with the community? How about your family, friends, or acquaintances? Take a look at your contact list and identify those in an interesting or useful trade, who own businesses, create art, or work for companies that might donate to our auction – ask them to support your daughter(s)…then invite them to the auction!
How Do I Ask?It’s easier than you think! Consider the following as a starting point:
“My daughter attends Lake Washington Girls Middle School. Would you consider donating to or becoming a sponsor of the School’s annual auction? The auction is our largest fundraiser and is being held this year on April 25, 2014 at the Olive8. Lake Washington Girls Middle School is an academically challenging independent school for girls in grades 6 through 8 that offers its students the opportunities and environment to become young women, strong in mind, body, and voice. LWGMS keeps its tuition low – about half that of our peer schools – and awards generous financial aid packages so girls of all backgrounds can attend, regardless of their family’s financial situation. LWGMS is an extraordinary school, and we would appreciate your support.”
Always bring along a donor/sponsorship letter and procurement form to fill out; having the form with you lends credibility to the “ask,” and may make it more difficult for the person you have approached to say no thank you.
Then What?• Fill out a procurement form - online (https://lwgms.ejoinme.org/2014donation)or in writing• Ensure the donor has signed the form• Give the donor the pink copy and the donation/sponsorship letter for their records• Deliver the rest of the form (white and yellow copies) to the advancement office, along with the item if applicable
NotesProcurement forms must be filled out completely (online or in writing) with detailed written descriptions before the item can be accepted and entered into our database. Please remember to include your own name and telephone number as the “auction solicitor” so we may contact you if we need additional information.
Gift certificates should be valid from April 25, 2014 through April 25, 2015. In the event a donor is not able to provide an actual gift certificate, the auction committee will create one. Please make sure you mark the appropriate box on the procurement form indicating the need to make a certificate.
Donations and Sponsorships and fully completed forms must be received by March 31, 2014 to be included in the printed catalog.
Corporate SponsorshipsAsk your friends, employers, and mission-appropriate businesses and/or companies with which you have contacts if they are interested sponsoring our auction (also tax-deductible). Sponsors have an opportunity to put their philanthropic dollars to good use when they support LWGMS.
There are four levels of sponsorship, and each one offers a sponsor increasing exposure to a large audience: auction attendees (250+), school supporters (1,100), and prospective families (250+). Sponsorship details can be found on the donor/sponsorship letter, but please feel free to contact (or encourage potential sponsors to contact) the Auction Team at 206.709.3800 or auction@lwgms.org with additional questions.
Keep in mind that if one of your friends supports our auction through individual sponsorship, and they work at a company that matches donated funds, the sponsorship dollars may be doubled! Please visit our website for a list of Seattle companies that match charitable donations and determine if any of your friends work there – your friend may be more willing to support LWGMS if he or she knows their donation will be matched, and their employer will receive recognition for the contribution.
