- Raising money is vital to a nonprofit organization.Everywhere you look, there is some organization asking for money or support. Some want your old clothes, others in your car. We get all these methods in the mail with the sad eyes of children, promising to stop cancer, diabetes or poverty if we can make a donation each month. Many of these requests end up in the trash. When money to nonprofit needs, they need to ask for money in creative ways. Unique ideas for fundraising are only limited by your imagination - and perhaps your local laws. Remember to check the laws covering the raffle, alcohol and even entertainment.
- When a museum, theater or other large institution must raise money, it may be the ideal place for a Murder Mystery Party. Participants pay a fee for dinner and were treated to a murder mystery they must solve. There are many soldiers kill small acts that will perform a murder mystery. The added value of interactive performance allows ticket prices. For more fun, linking the murder at the facility. If the museum has an Art Deco collection, for example, have everyone dress like a clamshell. If the theater was built in the 60s, have a beatnik-murder theme.
- Many groups have duck races. In these "races" people buy numbers that are written on the bottom of rubber ducks. The first ducks across the finish line to win fabulous prizes. Some communities will not allow racing ducks because they are a form of lottery, but most communities can aid in providing skill-based prices. It is the perfect opportunity for a boat race. Establish specific requirements of size and offer prices for faster boats home. The organization may offer different prices for the age groups or skill or even a professional heat, where companies can compete with each other for bragging rights and a big trophy.
- One of the biggest costs in many traditional party fundraising is food. Catering costs lots of money. But if you could pay restaurants to feed your guests, you make more money in your organization. With a taste of the event in the city, raising funds is the establishment and advertising. restaurants in the area are to pay a fee for renting booth where they offer samples of some of their best dishes. Area micro-breweries and wineries can participate with their wares. Customers are charged for a plastic card worn around the neck. On the map there is a number for each booth and four to six "wild card" slots. As customers move through the site, they try different foods and get their card punched. The wild card slots are there in case someone wants a second test of a specific dish. Wine and beer tasting cards may be sold separately if necessary to accommodate local liquor laws.
