If you’re looking to throw a fundraiser for an organization, or charitable cause, it’s of the utmost importance—perhaps more than any other event—that it goes successfully.Ensure your next fundraiser is a success by including these three key elements!
Keep it short
This is something you should do with any event, whether it’s a fundraiser or not: put yourself in your guests’ shoes.
Would you get antsy standing through the itinerary that you made?
Is it too long?
Does it never get to the point?
If the answers to these questions are ‘yes,’ then time to switch things up!
Purpose first & donations after
One of the biggest mistakes that fundraisers make is that they immediately ask for donations, without first explaining just what the purpose or mission of the organization or cause actually is. By doing so, you’re making it seem like your fundraiser is just a money grab, and nothing more.
If that happens, your fundraiser is toast.
Show them that their donation means something
We’ve always believed that this is the most important element: show us what you’re going to do with the money you’ve raised. People are much more likely to donate if they see that their money is going towards a concrete goal or building a tangible object.
Plan an event that entertains and brings the fun!
We are a one-stop party and entertainment source and we know how to put the ‘fun’ in ‘fundraising!’
