Fundraising Ideas for Non-Profit Organizations
higherimages • March 1, 2018
Raising money is a challenge. But it doesn’t have to be. With the right mix of leadership, passion for the cause, and a compelling mission, it’s possible to reach your intended audience. But first you need a plan to pull it all together.
To raise money for your non-profit organization, Entertainment Unlimited can help. The key is to make it fun and build an event around your cause. We’ve been helping non-profit groups raise money in a variety of ways, such as:
We’ll work with you to select a theme for your event, and assemble the other aspects of a solid fundraiser:
- Select a venue that is centrally located with easy parking
- Pick a date that doesn’t conflict or compete with other events going on in your area
- Incorporate a band, delicious food and beverages, and other extras
You can be thinking about how to engage your audience while they’re with you. Some tried and true methods may involve:
- Share your story . Be authentic in order to connect with your guests. This is the best way to spread awareness of your mission and build relationships.
- Craft an elevator speech —a brief, compelling description of your non-profit goal that you are able to deliver in 30 seconds (or by the time the elevator moves from the top floor to the ground).
- Ask for a gift. Using a variety of strategies, you can ask for a gift, but be specific. Let the donors know what their money is going toward specifically. Your gift of X will help Y people by providing Z.
- Thank each and every donor after the event. A hand-written note goes a long way in addition to a phone call. Get the note out quickly to show your gratitude and passion, which also gives donors the confidence that you’re on top of things.
