Three Easy Ways to Balance Costs and Raise Money for a Charity Event
• Registration Fees and Donations
• Sponsorships
• Volunteers
Registration Fees and Donations
• Some organizations gives a percentage of their registration fees to their partnering organization
• One way to raise enough money for your own organization is to set a registration fee high enough to cover your costs
• However, your registration fee should not be so high that it deters participants from signing up
• Making sure you know what your event costs will be will help you determine a good registration fee number
Sponsorships
• Sponsors are receptive to supporting a charity event
• Get your sponsors to help with t-shirts, food, printing, and advertising to save money
• Ask local businesses to donate food items in exchange for advertisement
• This allows you to gain more money for you and your charity since your event costs will be lower
Volunteers
• It is easy to find people to help keep your charity event organized
• Many charity organization members, local community members, and even your own organization’s members should be willing to help out
• This will save you money so that you don’t need to hire outside people to manage the event
