What types of non profit fundraisers are there?
Are you just getting involved in working for a non profit? Is one of your jobs to figure out what kind of non profit fundraisers you can run to make money?
If so, here are a few tips to help you come up with some good ideas for non profit fundraisers, so that you can raise the amount of money you need.
A fun run -- One of the most fun ways to raise money for a non profit is to organize a fun run or sponsored walk. All you have to do is to decide on a route for your walk and get permission from the city council to use it. Then you must find people who are willing to participate in the run or walk, and find sponsors to sponsor them. Get sponsors for the event yourself to offset how much you spend on it, as well as donors to donate things like snacks and drinks.
A celebrity auction -- Another of the popular non profit fundraisers is a celebrity auction. This is when you write to various celebrities and ask them to donate an item to be sold for an auction. You can have the auction at the same time as a black tie dinner, and also solicit donations from businesses and individuals in your area as well. Then all you need to do is to find a place to hold it, organize food and wine and sell tickets.
A bake sale -- An easy non profit fundraisers is a bake sale. Simply find a place to set up a stall where you will have a lot of foot traffic, and ask your volunteers to bake and bring baked goods. In just a few hours, you can often raise several hundred dollars. All of which can go directly towards the cost of running the programs your non profit runs.
