Tips
For Event Fundraising Success
1-
Get Advertised / Publicity
MOST important is that people know about your
fundraising event. Be sure to make the message
clear: WHO it's for, WHAT it's for, WHEN,
WHERE and HOW much you are trying to raise.
Use local radio station community spots, community
paper, school and church newsletters, local
TV, posters and flyers.
2- Get a Central / Well Known Location
Pick a location that everyone knows by name,
just directing to an address will reduce your
attendance. Also pick a location that can
handle the requirements of your fundraising
event as well as crowds.
3- Pick the Right Day
Saturdays are usually best. Most people are
not working and have less family or religious
events to attend. Also check your calendar
so you're not competing with another big event
or holiday. Better yet, try to set up your
fundraising event to take advantage of the
other event's people traffic.
4- Get Trusted Volunteers
Make sure you get the commitment of your fundraising
event volunteers. Your fundraiser will fall
short if you can't rely on your helpers. Have
backup volunteers lined up in case of absent
helpers.
