6 Tips from Terri Horvath


Local celebrities add to the cash flow at your fundraising event

One way to increase the enjoyment and attendance at your fundraiser is to have your major donors and/or local celebrities play very visible roles at the event. They could serve as waiters, auctioneers, or party hosts. The idea is to draw your usual financial supporters as well as the friends and admirers of these celebrities and an additional news slant for the media.

Anniversaries stir news interest and fundraising recognition

Commemorating important events from your organization’s history can help in adding news interest for your fundraising event. Check your archives for past occasions that might be used as a platform for a special commemorative event. Then, contact the media with a great idea for a news story. This is a way to raise money and awareness of your organization.

Corporations support employees' fundraising efforts

Some of your volunteers may have the connections you need to get a little extra cash. Many companies, such as Eli Lilly and Company, will contribute to nonprofit organizations if one of their employees requests the donation. With very little effort on your part, you’ve raised extra cash for your fundraising campaign.
