Finding the Right Sponsors is the Key to Fundraising Success
Organize Your Next Charity Fundraising Event with Bradley Dean in Toronto
Raising funds for a charitable organization can take as much time and energy as the actual work the cause is devoted to. An efficient way to raise funds in a short period of time is to host an event. An event can attract and inspire the maximum number of people to contribute all at once – and in the future. The most common ways to raise funds include auctions, walks or runs, and dinners. Such events, when organized and executed well, can inspire involvement from the community, encouraging more people to donate.
Whether your organization is large or grassroots, thinking of fresh and engaging fundraising ideas can be an overwhelming task. Without proper planning and due diligence, ambitious ideas can be difficult to bring to life.
Hosting a fundraising event may seem like a relatively easy task – host an event and ask people to donate. But in reality, it requires a lot of planning, brainstorming and execution expertise. You need to choose the type of event, determine where to host it, find volunteers to work at the event, and also search for ways to generate as much money for the charity as possible. The key is to host an eye-catching memorable event without cutting into the profits that are earmarked for a charitable cause.
To keep your budget manageable, and maximize profits for your cause, you need to enlist the help of corporate sponsors. Many corporations will donate their products and services free of charge in return for placement on your signage and advertising ( or you can even name the event after them!)
How to choose your corporate sponsors
At first, you might be tempted to take any corporate donation you can get, but it is important to choose the right sponsors for your event.
Ensure that:
• Their mission and vision are aligned with yours (and your charitable cause)
• Their target audience demographics are similar to yours
• They understand the value of this type of marketing and are just as focused as you on event ROI
Granite Productions understands the value of sponsorships and we have access to an extensive network, with the ability to find the right corporations to partner with your cause.
We have organized many charity fundraising events and have helped to raise over a million dollars. We not only organize the event, but we also market it through various channels.
‘iBelieve Foundation’s A Rare Evening: A Touch of Red Charity Gala' has been one of the most successful charitable events we’ve produced to date. It was attended by Mark Cuban, the face of ABC’s Shark Tank and the owner of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks. The event was a huge success and attended many industry leaders.
All the guests were requested to wear a hint of red to show their support for the cause. This small element not only generated a buzz and provided ample photo opportunities, but it also made attendees feel connected and united.
