Advertising for Your Non-Profit Event
If you have tried to raise money for a non-profit organization, then you know how difficult it is to try and get a few minutes of people’s time and convince them to give a little for your cause. But there are very good ways to organize fund raisers in your area and advertise correctly so that people not only come, but they donate what they can to whatever it is you are supporting. The first thing you need to do if you are trying to raise money for a good cause is to realize that there is a long road ahead and that giving up is not an option. You need a small dedicated group of people to plan everything and invite all the people you know. When you have these things, you can do anything from a fancy dinner to a race for a cure.
If you want people to come out and support your cause, you do need to find something that will actually give back to those who are ready to give. People are not going to come out to a box and put their money in it. Throwing a dinner or a party to raise money is one of the easiest ways to do it. You can get sponsors to donate food and prizes and a raffle is also a great way to earn a little extra money for your cause. Put up a huge roller banner in the center of the room and wait for the checks to come in at the end of the night. It can be difficult to set all of this up, but it is very rewarding when your organization actually starts making a difference in this world.
Getting people to come is another difficult task altogether. In order to find those people who will actually give to your cause, you need to target the connections you and your group has that are useful and have something to give. Once you have these people, everyone else is really just filler unless you are charging per head for your event. It usually isn’t enough to buy a roll up banner and just hope people will show up. There are many ways to invite people without spending any of your precious funds. Using email to invite people is a great way. Also, you can try to get your message out there using the popular social websites where you can reach hundreds of people with a mouse click.
