Fundraising Event Ideas
Are you looking for fundraising event ideas?
Special days and holidays give all sorts of opportunities for a great fundraiser.
They provide inspiration for fantastic charity event ideas and convenient hooks around which you can raise money for the causes close to your heart.
With a bit of work well known special days such as Easter, Valentines, Halloween can become great money-makers for your organisation.
But do not overlook either some of the other quirky little days of the year.
- Shrove Tuesday (pancake day) - Cries out to have an after school pancake race.
- Shakespeare's Birthday April 23rd - What a great day for a Book Fair.
- Boxing Day 26th December - Time for a sponsored dip in the sea!
The year is full of these sorts of days.
Is your school, church, hospice or local hospital named after a saint?
And you're not using that saint's day for a fundraiser? What's wrong with you?
The calendar is stuffed full of great excuses to put on an entirely new event or add a twist to something you are already doing. Pretty much any day can be turned into a brilliant event if you use a bit of imagination.
Still can't find a date for an idea that works for you?
Invent one of your own. What about:
Give it a year or two and any of these could become a regular fixture on your town's social calendar.
So take a good look at the diary and look for a day that's just begging for a crack fundraising team like yours to get their hands on it.
