Events to raise money for an organization or a specific cause always require particularly careful planning. Today we decided to focus on the most important aspect of such events.
How can you collect the maximum amount of money? Use 10 simple methods.
1. Attracting sponsors
Many organizations are ready to become sponsors. However, not every owner of a large business will agree to do this without any benefit for his company.
When asking for sponsorship, be sure to mention what the business representative will receive in return. This could be advertising at an event, products, etc.
2. Grants
Today, there are quite a few options available for obtaining grants for non-profit organizations. You can also try to get a grant for the fundraising event itself. Please note that it may take more than one month to make a decision on issuing such a subsidy, so it is better to address this issue long before the expected date of the event.
3. Ticket sales
Selling tickets to an event is a great way to raise funds. Unusual solutions will further interest potential guests. In addition to simple tickets, you can offer to buy special sets of several pieces at a discount, tickets to the VIP area, sponsorship packages, etc.
Also, additional profit will come from ticket lotteries for guests, receiving a souvenir or cocktail when providing a ticket, etc.
4. Lotteries
This simple activity can be used at almost any fundraising event. You can offer guests the option to purchase raffle tickets along with their admission ticket for little or no fixed fee.
Prizes for the lottery can be any souvenirs or any original things donated for this purpose by sponsors (for example, paintings or products of a company).
Lotteries based on the “who is bigger” principle are especially effective. The prize (usually quite significant) here is given to the one who buys the most tickets. Less expensive prizes go to the next 10 most active buyers.
5. Silent auction
Everyone is familiar with this popular type of auction, when participants do not openly announce their bids, but use some kind of gesture to inform the auctioneer about the bid. If you don't have the opportunity to offer large, interesting items, get creative and offer guests to buy sets or collections of some items.
Remember that unique and original items will be in greatest demand at the auction. Any services that offer a non-standard experience will also be in demand: a hot air balloon flight, an unusual trip, etc.
6. Live auction
In a live auction, a good professional auctioneer plays a major role. Only he has the power to create a special trading mood, attract buyers and turn the auction into a memorable entertainment for guests. For this type of auction, also try to find exciting original items.
7. Request for a voluntary contribution
A fairly effective method of raising funds is to ask guests directly from the stage. Many wealthy people love public recognition. The host should ask guests to make contributions, announcing a specific goal. At the same time, it is imperative to publicly express special gratitude to those who donate large sums.
8. Selling food and drinks
One of the simplest and most effective methods of attracting money. You can come up with many creative options for such a sale. For example, organize a dessert auction, sell cards for individual tables (drinks, desserts, snacks), sell unusual and unfamiliar dishes/drinks to guests, or invite chefs to create their masterpieces right in front of the public.

Well, there is a way out, and it is only one - hand over used galvanic cells to the appropriate collection points. At the festival of creativity "Workshop of Miracles" project "Eco-boom" presented his own battery collection point, and not quite an ordinary one at that - in the form of an intricate house with bipolar residents.
Here's a creative container for collecting batteries
A competition with incentive prizes was organized for the children: for example, each used energy source was exchanged for a candy, and those who brought the maximum number of batteries earned special gifts.
Well, it's time to raise the curtain and announce the most responsible young ecologists!
The winners of the children's battery collecting competition at the Workshop of Miracles festival were: six-year-old Zhurkov Viktor and three year old Golovko Maxim! They moved as many as 103 and 62 residents into the miracle house, respectively! We sincerely congratulate our team and wish them not to stop there, continuing to follow the path of a careful and caring attitude towards the world around them.
Thanks to mothers who pay attention to environmental education of children
By the way, at the same time we are making our special prizes public: Victor, who took first place, receives a certificate for free photography from family photographer Marina Strenado, and Maxim - an eco-bag, a handmade cat-pillow and a book with children's fairy tales.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the participants in our competition and, of course, Yulia and Alena, who directly provided the guests of the holiday with information about the importance of recycling batteries and the location of collection points in Simferopol. Through joint efforts at the festival it was collected 392 batteries.
