Are you tired of searching everywhere to find fresh and exciting fundraising ideas for your nonprofit organization? Finally, here is the resource to turbo charge your events! Inside this groundbreaking book you will find 199 fundraising events that have worked for other organizations. This handy guide is broken into two sections: simple events and complex events. The simple events can be put together quickly with minimal time, supplies, and volunteers. The complex events require more planning and manpower, but will generate more revenue for your organization. Every event has a quick overview chart so you can see at a glance if the event is a good fit for your group. You will immediately be able to assess the degree of effort required in six major categories: estimated cost, obtaining sponsors and donations, finding a venue, recruiting volunteers, preparing for the event, and executing the event. You will find the events that best meet your financial and social goals and objectives. Now you can reach your fundraising goals in exciting and original ways. Whether it is for your school, sports team, church, or any other group or nonprofit organization, you will find your next event here. Sandlin and Helweg present 199 fundraising event ideas that have proven successful for various organizations, including both simple ideas requiring less effort and money to put together and complex ideas requiring more effort, finances, and time. Each event listing is one-to-two pages in length and includes the name of the fundraiser and a description of what it entails. Accompanying charts show the amount of difficulty in six major areas: estimated cost, obtaining sponsors/donations, finding a venue, recruiting volunteers, preparation, and execution.
