You Need Professional Help! (For Your Next Fundraising Event)
Fundraising events are an effective way to raise money and build your organization’s reputation. Fundraisers should be eye-catching and entertaining in order to inspire attendees to contribute generously. But they must also stay within budget, so that the maximum amount of money goes towards the intended charitable recipient.
“Embracing a cause is simply not enough. To deliver a successful fundraiser, you need meticulous planning, organizational expertise, a polished strategy and flawless execution.”
–Bradley Dean, Toronto

Thinking about organizing a fundraising event for a cause you are passionate about or your own non-profit? Here are some things to consider:
Be strategic!
Remember the ultimate goal of your fundraiser – raise funds. Work on delivering a spectacular experience within budget. Explore corporate sponsorship opportunities to reduce event costs.
Have a mission
Many organizations do not think beyond raising funds and fail to tie a mission into their event. Every successful event has a purpose, which becomes a valuable tool to gauge its success. Having clear objectives and a mission also helps with proper planning and use of available resources.
Make it memorable
To gain attention and market effectively, give your fundraising event a strong, memorable theme. The theme should complement the cause, your brand, and your target audience.
Find creative ways to market
People can only come to your event if they are aware of it. Generate interest and passion for the cause through a bold social media strategy. On flip side, consider cutting through the clutter of online communications and hand-deliver invitations along with an unforgettable event teaser.
Consider hiring professionals
Events are multi-faceted. There are a number of things you must juggle, which can be challenging if you are doing it all in-house. Professionals can give 100% focus to your event.
