While it may be early to start a fundraising, I would suggest you create a 10-20 year high level annual forecast of cash inflows and expenses. Create it such that you can enter in each year your expected number of members and have it all calculate automatically leaving you with an estimate of annual excess funds or deficiencies requiring alumni donations.
Then you can create another 10-20 year sheet with your project number of alumni based on the numbers of actives from the first sheet and year of graduation.
From there, estimate some goals for fundraising per alumnus per year- and you can at least get a vision of what your potential fundraising might be based on chapter size and growth.
I am working on something similar for my old chapter right now. PM me if you would like me to email you the Excel template once I am done with it. Then you just have to drop in numbers and all the data will calculate automatically.
