Event Fundraisers are my favourite type of fundraiser for many reasons. You get to raise all the money you need in just 1 night AND have fun with your guests!
And as an added bonus with Events:
- There is alcohol involved.
- You have fun. (I said that already didn’t I!?!)
- Your guests are likely to be more generous if they are drinking.
- It feels less like work and more like a party!
What Type of Person is an Event Fundraiser best suited to?
Event Fundraisers are the perfect option for people who fundraise because they want to make a difference and help change the lives of others.
If you like going out, having fun and have a big social network (of real-life people!) then event fundraisers are ideal. If you are confident you can get a crowd of at least 100 people together, hitting your target should be a breeze.
If you also like to achieve your goals and are very organised (or prepared to be organised) and are willing to put in 1-3 hours per week for 12 weeks leading up to an event, then Event Fundraisers are certainly an option for you.
What Type of Person is an Event Fundraiser not suited to?
Event fundraising is not going to work for you if you are a bit of a homebody and don’t like to go out and socialise.
If you are a “she’ll be right” leave everything to the last minute kind of person, running an event is not for you either.
If you think one person can’t make a difference, so there isn’t any point trying, then Event Fundraising certainly isn’t going to work. (Having said that – any type of fundraising is unlikely to work for you!)
In conclusion, if you are connected to a crowd and can commit the time, Hit Your Target will help you with the rest. Just follow the simple steps for success and you should have no problem hitting your target and reaching your fundraising goal.
