When it comes to organizing fundraisers, there’s are almost too many options, making it a challenge for event planners. There’s everything from silent auctions to kiss offs and pretty much everything in between. We can appreciate how finding the right fundraiser can make or break your non-profit or charitable cause. So, to help you out, we’ve put together five of the best fundraisers to help launch your thoughts.
- Garage Sales
- Silent Auctions
- Sporting Event
- Scavenger Hunt
- Bean Bath
Garage sales are one of the best ways to raise funds for your philanthropy causes fast. Organize a location, collect the items for the sale and then, start meeting your goals. In some cases, this type of sale, can raise in the ballpark of $1000 or more even if you select one day for the event. Any leftover items can be donated to thrift stores or other non-profit organizations.
Next, is the Silent Auction. It’s profound how much someone may be willing to bid on your old junk. Don’t forget, you can organize an event such as an auction by creating the event page on Facebook or Google Hangouts. Wait till you see how quickly your goal is met.
In addition to silent auctions, sporting events have become rather popular with fundraising efforts. Get together celebrities from your schools or churches and the local community, sell tickets and paraphernalia and watch the crowd go live! These types of competitions are not only a great way to raise capital, they’re super fun to attend.
Now that we’ve discussed a few obvious events to raise money for your charity, think a little more on the ingenious side by hosting a scavenger hunt. Don’t forget to include local businesses who may want to donate products or services such as dinner for two at a local restaurant. These events used to more popular and now are making a comeback.
Lastly, some may find this fundraiser a little on the crazy side. But, let’s face it when it comes to raising money, crowds love to see people squirm. Just picture your principals or teachers having to step into a tub filled with Pork and Beans. What a hoot!
These fundraisers always work best when they’re well planned and include other activities or attractions such as bounce houses and waterslides, so don’t forget to include us!
