Holding a fundraiser is the best way to raise money for your cause. Choosing the right fundraiser that fits your organization can be a difficult decision. When choosing a fundraiser, you will need something that people respond to quickly with their wallets. Here is a list of four of the best fundraisers to consider:
Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is a great idea for fundraising. Online crowdfunding is great because people who don’t like to give cash donations can use credit or debit cards instead. They can also share on social media that they donated and give the link to your crowdfunding site to spread the word. Combining online crowdfunding with another method of fundraising can raise even more money for your cause than just using one method.
Silent Auctions
Silent auctions involve more planning than crowdfunding. With silent auctions, the most difficult part is finding items to auction off. Having friends and family donate items of value is a good idea so you won’t have to put much money into buying things to auction. You also won’t have to worry about finding a good auctioneer because the bids are written down.
Raffle
Running a raffle is one of the best fundraisers and easiest to run. Many dollar and discount stores sell large rolls of raffle tickets so getting started is easy. Doing a 50/50 raffle gives the added incentive to donate because the total amount collected is split with half going to the organization and half going to the raffle winner.
Theme Party
Throwing a theme party is a fun way to raise money. Choose a fun theme like casino night or 80’s night and charge a small fee for admission. Putting a lot of effort into transforming the venue into another world will ensure your guests have a great time and great memories of the event.
Choosing the best fundraisers for your organization doesn’t have to be difficult. Getting your team to put together an unforgettable event can be fun. Emphasizing that you are raising money for a good cause will make it easier for people to open their wallets, as will providing them with a positive experience.
