Nonprofit organizations typically set fundraising goals for each of their special events, even before the planning committees are formed. These goals are needed so that budgets and plans for the future can be set. A significant amount of research and predictions can go into setting these goals to ensure they are challenging but achievable.
But I don’t believe these goals should be used to manage the charity walk event. I believe there are problems with giving the charity walk committee the fundraising goals.
You want the committee members to own the goals. They will be more motivated to achieve the goals. The best way to do this is for the committee to discuss and determine their own goals.
Also, the goals of the organization may not take into account the enthusiasm of the volunteers who lead the event. By allowing the committee to set their own goals, even higher goals might be set that will exceed all expectations. The walk committee could be held back from their potential if goals are imposed on them.
Empower your charity walk committee to set their destiny and be their best. The ultimate results may surprise you.

Everyone will have to set their own goals instead of setting a group goal as each n everyone will have their own strength in a charity walks. Instead of forcing everyone to follow 1 main goal, it is better that everyone can set their own goals and even better when they are able achieve it.

When you are in a organization, every member or committee should act as one in order to achieve your goals. But before achieving your own goals, you should first meet your organization’s goals for charity. In this way, you will not worry how to do it or achieve it. Because you are as one. Remember two heads are better than one.

Hi Roger! I love your post, this is very inspiring. Setting up your goals when you have a committee must be tackled by the group. Set a meeting and have your suggestions and hear others suggestion how you can meet your goals for your group’s charity walk.

For me, who really sets in charity walks must the people around it. When you engaged or involved yourself in this kind of organization, you should know your responsibilities as charity worker. Many are waiting for you help, they should be the one who will inspire you and your organization in doing so. They are your goals.
