In the Philippine context it is more effective to ask donations from a wealthy few than to ask from a broad base. We actually concentrated on the latter approach. But the biggest donation (almost half of the total expense) came from a businessman from the locality where we did the Workcamp, a friend of one of our champions (I only suspect this since the person asked to be anonymous, and not even I know who the friend of my friend is).
Have funds for advancing pledges – this is especially applicable for donations from companies. They usually have bureaucratic processes for donations and would usually ask for a Deed of Donation so they could apply for a tax exemption. This takes a while to process. The earliest you can collect the donation might be after the Workcamp.
