Essentials For Your Non-Profit:
How To Raise All The Money You Want
( 34 pages )
Fundraising Ideas:
Finding the Best Ones for Your Non-Profit
- Fairs or bazaars: These
events take a long time and much effort to organize but
they inevitably draw large crowds of all ages. Fairs
and bazaars are basically mixed events that may contain
rides, auctions, fair booths (such as palm-reading stations,
pie eating contests, dunking booths and others), rides,
refreshments, and other attractions.
Often, you will need to rent
some of the apparatus (such as the booths or rides) which
means that this sort of fundraising event can become quite
expensive in some cases. You will also need to organize
plenty of volunteers in order to keep things running smoothly.
There are many types of fair themes and styles, ranging
from country fairs to haunted house or Halloween bazaars
to family fairs.
- Dances and other
entertainment events: These
events usually charge for admission and the money raised
through admission is used to support the non-profit
group. Usually turn out at these events is quite good
as the public gets entertained for an affordable rate.
This type of fundraising event can also, in some cases,
be inexpensive and fast to organize:
- Dances: Dances
(especially themed dances such as retro sock hops, country
square dances, or 80s pop dances) are always a big draw
and are very easy to put together. You need a space for
the dance, some decorations, and a good DJ. Admission fees
and the sale of refreshments usually ensures a profit.
- Movie nights: Whether
you decide to organize a drive-in or get your local movie
theater to offer your group a night showing, movie nights
are very popular, especially if you can offer inexpensive
admission. In many cases, offering older movies for viewing
will draw a bigger crowd and also prove less expensive
to organize.
- Plays, variety shows,
and comedy shows: Live shows and entertainments
can be a great way to entertain and draw in money (again,
through ticket sales and refreshment sales). They can take
some time to organize and require lots of practice and
work from volunteers, but start-up costs can be quite low
if you can get someone to arrange an inexpensive venue
for the show to take place in.
- Bingo or casino nights: These
offer exciting fun and the possibility of winning prizes
and money. Proceeds (which can be quite high) go to your
group. Just be aware that some communities have laws about
who can hold such events, which are sometimes considered
“gambling.” Check local laws before trying this idea.
- Dinners: Turkey
dinners, Sunday dinners, and singles dinners draw plenty
of people who want to meet others and who do not want to
dine alone. For a dinner event, you will want food and
refreshment, a place for the dinner, some decoration and
possibly some quieter entertainment that will still allow
for talking among diners. Dinners are fast to organize
and can be help frequently, if enough people seem interested
in the event. Money is raised by having people pay at the
door for the event.
- Holiday events: Whether
it’s a family Easter egg hunt, a Halloween haunted house,
or a Christmas caroler concert, hosting events with a holiday
theme always draws those who want to celebrate a special
day. Charging admission is a good way to raise money at
these sort of events, and other fundraising ideas - such
as sales or raffles, can be added to the event to ensure
greater fundraising success.
- Tours: Offering
walking or driving tours of a city can be a great and
inexpensive way to raise money for your non-profit, especially
if you live in a city or town with a large tourist population.
Tours can take place a few times a week during the summer
or can be conducted year round.
They require little more than
a few hours of volunteer time, a staff that knows about
a city or area (or can learn about it by reading books)
and some advertising. In addition to raising money by charging
money for the tours, a non-profit can also hand out pamphlets
about the organization during the tours, raising awareness
as well as money.
- Hay rides and barn
dances: These activities are quite popular
during the fall and summer, as they offer family entertainment
for city dwellers who want to “get away” for a few
hours. You will need to find a farm that can accommodate
donors.
Additional fundraising
ideas - such as pony rides and a hay bale maze
- can easily be added to raise even more money. Setting
up the event may take money and time, but once it is set
up, it can easily operate for an entire season, bringing
in money regularly. A farmer offering a pick-your-own business
may be willing to allow a non-profit to use a small parcel
of land in exchange for drawing tourists and customers
to the area, so it does not hurt to ask around.
