Easy Fundraising Ideas to “Wow” Your Guests
Consider these easy fundraising ideas when planning your next oceanfront event:
Pick Your Cause
First things first, you need to pick a cause to fundraise for. Whether it’s something close to your heart or a cause chosen by you and your team, there’s something for everyone in fundraising. Cancer research (or any other disease affecting your community), homelessness, food insecurity, women’s shelters, and veterans are some examples to get you started.
How Much Money Should You Aim to Raise?
After you decide which cause you want to host a fundraiser for, it’s time to figure out how much money you need to raise. This figure should be separate from your budget for the actual event. To learn more about goal estimation, see this helpful article from Network for Good.
Consider the Demographic and Location of Your Donors
If you already have donors, where do they live? What age group do they belong to? Do a large percentage of your donor base identify with a certain gender? This will help to determine what kind of fundraising method to use. For example, a volunteer-based fundraiser where money is pledged per family helped is popular in college communities. On the other hand, gen-Z or younger donors might be more prone to use a text-to-give system.
Weather Can Be a Factor
Weather can make or break an event depending on the time of year. One way to prevent this is to hold your event indoors. Or, you can take advantage of a venue with a beautiful view, such as Salero, and have the party flow inside and outside!
Once you answer those questions, here are some ideas for different types of fundraisers:
Charity Gala
If you’re looking for significant donations, look no further! All of the glitz and glamour of a gala will have your donors dropping big money and writing large checks. You can’t go wrong with a formal dinner and exclusive entertainment.
Trivia Tournament
Trivia nights are all the rage right now! You can ask trivia questions inspired by your cause. Or, play music from different decades and genres. Trivia based on TV shows, like The Office or Friends, is really popular. The possibilities are endless!
Movie Night
Pick a movie based on your cause and raise money by selling tickets, concessions, and movie memorabilia! You can even throw a raffle for prize baskets based on the film. For extra flair, try and find pieces from the set to auction off for charity.
Talent Show
This is a popular choice for telethons since they usually run for 24 hours. Talent shows were a big deal in middle school, and they’re still a big deal. Everyone with talent is waiting for the perfect opportunity to show off, and what better way than for charity?
Penny Social
A penny social is a combination between a silent auction and a raffle. Donors buy tickets at the beginning of the event and place tickets in a basket in front of a prize they want. Depending on the prizes offered and how much you price the tickets, it could be a low-cost-high reward way for donors to contribute.
Benefit Concert
Showcasing local bands to put on a benefit concert is a great way to get involved in the community’s music scene. Local bands always appreciate promotion and free advertising. For an all-day fundraiser, book multiple bands and have them switch off between sets.
