10 Ways To Put Fun In Your FundraisersFun Fundraisers
#1 - Make it fun every step of the way Fun is part of fundraising. Don't make it drudgery to be a volunteer or a participant. Remember that they're giving up their free time to help. Plan fun things to do during each stage of the process that reward everyone. #2 - Fun incentives Offer a Cream Pie Attack party to all sellers reaching a certain level. Have a fun day where key organizational figures do funny things for meeting goals. Examples: Shaving their head, dyeing their hair blue, wearing a funny wig, dressing like a clown, risk the dunking booth, etc. #3 - Take pictures Everybody loves to see themselves in a picture. Take some candid shots, have everybody pose, all ham it up for a group photo, etc. Be sure to post them where everyone can enjoy them. Reward with prizes for the best, the goofiest, the worst dressed, etc. #4 - Show appreciation Show your appreciation to all facets of your organization and supporter base. Be sure to do fun things that aren't fundraisers. Example: Line up discounts on tickets to athletic events, go on group outings, provide doughnuts for volunteers, etc. #5 - Fun merchant prizes Work with local merchants for great prizes that mean the most to your sellers. Work deals for movie passes, merchandise discounts, gift certificates, miniature golf, IMAX theater trip for top ten, etc. Follow our Merchant Plan guidelines. #6 - Build in fun goals Do an event based solely on having fun. Have key organization members commit to doing crazy things once certain revenue goals are reached, say in $1000 increments. Let things build to the climactic moment where the head cheese does the ultimate fun thing as a way to reward the group for all their support. #7 - Blend fun and food Remember that you can blend fun into even the most traditional fundraising events. Everybody knows what a bake sale is, right? Use a cake walk to sell a large portion of your donated sweets. Kids love it and you'll get more for the desserts than if you sold them outright. Consider having awards for the various submissions and then auctioning off the best pie, cake, etc. #8 - Fun completion activities These will motivate your sellers and volunteers as much or more as winning actual prizes. Think about low cost fun events that you could tie to completing certain tasks: Top sales group gets a water balloon fight; all volunteers play in a Powder Puff touch football game an ultimate Frisbee match, etc. #9 - Say thank you You can't say thank you often enough to your supporters and your participants. Show your appreciation with heartfelt words and deeds. #10 - Cast party Have one for all volunteers at conclusion. Get together at someone's home or in the fellowship hall with everyone bringing potluck. It's a nice way to build goodwill and reinforce a sense of community for future recruiting. Make your fundraisers fun and everyone will come back for more!
