Jesus Zeus Salas Talks About Fundraising

For most non-profit organizations, fundraising is the key to success. Without volunteers doing what they can to garner donations from supporters, activities screech to a halt, and populations and causes go on being underserved. Jesus Zeus Salas, a radio broadcasting professional in Miami, is deeply involved in a number of charitable causes within his community, and has chaired multiple events (such as the Gentlemen’s Night for the Miami Children’s Hospital) that have required a significant amount of fundraising acumen. Here, Jesus Zeus Salas shares some of his tips for successful fundraising.

Start Early. In order to reach your fundraising goal, Jesus Zeus Salas highly recommends getting the word out about events and beginning to collect donations well in advance. Try to do things last minute, Jesus Zeus Salas says, and you’re more likely to fall up short.

Advertise Widely. One of the most crucial parts of fundraising is alerting friends, family, and the community at large that you’re having an event or campaign. As a broadcasting professional, Jesus Zeus Salas knows how to get a message out, but the basic principle is simple. Cast a wide net, invest in professional-quality materials, and be persistent.

Go Beyond Cash. When planning an event, Jesus Zeus Salas says to remember that you can ask for donations of more than just money. Planning to have food at your event? Locate a caterer or restaurant who would be willing to donate their services. Want to create flyers, brochures, or event programs? Find a printer who wants to support your cause. The possibilities are endless.

Be Patient. Fundraising is an ongoing process, says Jesus Zeus Salas, and it’s one that requires patience. Don’t expect one event to raise all of the money you’ll ever need. Instead, consider holding seasonal fundraising events, and make your organization’s biggest event of the year an annual one.

Develop your talent. Before you even think about getting in touch with record labels, put in the hard work that will make your music irresistible. Jesus Zeus Salas knows that it can be temping to drive right in, but developing a unique sound and personality now will make you more distinctive and attractive to labels later on.

Create a following. Record labels want to know that you’re going to be a good investment. Jesus Zeus Salas recommends playing live shows in your home city to drum up a following. In addition, and Jesus Zeus Salas cannot stress enough the importance to develop a strong online and social media presence.

Record a demo. Put together a compilation of five to eight of your best songs that really showcase your range and style. Jesus Zeus Salas suggests having physical CDs on hand to sell at shows, as well as a digital version.

Make a press kit. If your shows garner any reviews, combine them with a brief biography, some photos, and your demo. That way, you’ll have your act’s “resume” available to give to potential contacts in the industry at any point.

Approach labels. These days, it’s less about “getting discovered” than making that discovery happen yourself, says Jesus Zeus Salas. Research the record labels that will work best for you, and then send them your press kit. Taking the first step is often far more effective than waiting for an agent to happen to appear at one of your shows.
