First of all, congrats on getting your fundraising started! Raising support for a worthy cause can be super rewarding.
One route you might want to consider is setting up a homepage for your group on a fundraising website.
Raising support online is much simpler and more tidy than raising funds via cash or check (most sites can link donations straight to your bank account through a merchant processor). And having a group page gives you a central place to post information, photos and let people know what you do - this helps you promote your cause to friends, family and whoever else you want.
There are plenty of sites these days that help groups meet their goals - here are some good options:
First Giving (www.firstgiving.com) is a solid one. They charge about 5% on donations raised and have a simple structure to set up your page (though you may have to be a certified non-profit to register with them).
If that's the case, another option is Empowered they process about 3.5% on donations raised, offer lots of tools to help organize/fundraise, and I know they support all small groups, regardless of non-profit status.
And you could always try to send up your own PayPal account to link to you directly, but this is a little trickier and a bit inflexible.
What else can I help you with?

These mechanisms help candidates raise the necessary funds to support their campaigns and reach voters.

What are the similarities and differences between a PAC and Super PAC?
Both PACs and Super PACs are political committees that can raise and spend money to support candidates, but they differ in their fundraising limits and disclosure requirements. PACs can donate directly to candidates and have limited contribution amounts, while Super PACs cannot donate directly to candidates but can raise unlimited funds from individuals, unions, and corporations to spend independently on behalf of candidates.
Would you call an event where people pay money to dinner with a Candidate?
Yes, an event where people pay money to have dinner with a candidate is commonly referred to as a fundraising dinner or a fundraising event. These gatherings are often used by candidates to raise campaign funds while also providing supporters an opportunity to engage with them in a more personal setting. Such events can help candidates connect with voters and build relationships, while also generating essential financial support for their campaigns.
Is the spelling of fundraising correct or is fund raising correct?
'Fundraising' without the hyphen is the correct spelling.
Where can I learn about the options for school fund raising options?
There is tons of information on the internet for fundraising ideas. Do a search for "school fundraising options" or "school fundraising ideas" and you will find a multitude of websites that will give you ideas, a list of fundraising companies, and fundraising products. You could also call other schools or churches and see what they have done for fundraising. Here are a couple websites that have a ton of information: http://school.familyeducation.com/school-fundraising/38482.html, http://www.fundraisingweb.org/ , http://www.easy-fundraising-ideas.com/programs/school-fundraising-ideas/

Who pays for the president's campaign expenses?
The president's campaign expenses are typically paid for by donations from individuals, political parties, and fundraising events. Additionally, candidates may also use their own personal funds to finance their campaigns.
What do the candidates need to do to get invited to the debates?
Candidates typically need to meet certain polling and fundraising thresholds set by the debate hosts in order to get invited to participate in debates. They may also need to meet specific eligibility criteria, such as being officially recognized by a certain date or having sufficient ballot access.
In the recent past primaries were used both to select delegates and to and to what?
In the recent past, primaries were used both to select delegates and to gauge voter preferences for party candidates. This dual purpose helps parties understand which candidates have the most support among voters, influencing campaign strategies and shaping the overall electoral landscape. Additionally, the results can impact the momentum of candidates and their fundraising capabilities as they move towards the general election.
What is your experience in fundraising?
I'm not certain if you're asking for specific fundraising experiences, but I've been fundraising as a Major Gifts Officer for about 7 years. I've also worked as a Director of Devleopment and a Consultant in Fundraising strategy and theory.
