Charity Fund Raising Tips and Ideas
by: Michael Saunders
Helping out other people who are in need is truly
noble. Many people have the desire to help but sometimes run
out of means. Raising money isn’t a difficult task however it
requires planning and organizing. Here are some useful tips
and ideas on how to raise funds: 1. Decide who
will benefit from the money that will be raised. Other
fundraisers help people who were hit by storms, suffering
from terminal illness and their families, or children who do
not have the means to go to school. Remember to identify the
beneficiary before starting out any fund raising activity.
2. Organize a charity walk or charity run. These
are great ideas for raising money while taking advantage of
people’s desire to get in shape. 3. Organize a
sports tournament. Badminton, golf, swimming, and tennis are
popular sports that attract huge numbers of people. Studies
show that the number of tournament participants double when
it is for a good cause. 4. A film festival is
one great means for raising funds. 85% of the US population
loves watching movies, so take advantage of it. Identify
target audiences and take a survey of the top three movies
they would like to see. Secure a venue based on the number of
anticipated audience and solicit sponsors. (continued...)
