- Small non-profit organizations often have small operating budgets, and it can be difficult to solicit cash donations, especially during difficult economic times. One way to obtain the necessary funds to continue operation is to organize a fundraiser. Often, people who might not otherwise give will spend money at a fundraising event because they receive entertainment, goods or services in return.
- A splash is a machine composed of a water tank, a raised platform and a target. When the target is hit, the platform is retracted and the person sitting on it falls into the water. A splash requires at least one volunteer who is a good sport and someone that many people would like to see in a dip tank. For example, a fundraiser the city could use the local business owners or the mayor as a volunteer while teachers and principals are excellent volunteers for school fundraisers. Loads a gift for the players to launch balls to the goal - for example, $ 5 for three balls.
- In a silent auction, participants examine the items and write their bids on pieces of paper rather than report them to an auctioneer as in a standard auction. The rhythm of a silent auction is slower and quieter than a standard auction, making this type of auction a good event to hold at a dinner - which you can also free admission for. To get items to auction for a nonprofit organization, ask local businesses and community members for donations.
- A 50-50 raffle is essentially a mini-lottery using raffle tickets, tickets to two small parties with the same number on each half. When a person buys a ticket, half of the ticket goes into a bucket, while he holds the other half. Charge a fixed price for each ticket no obligation to buy less. At the end of the sale, half the cash for the winner of the raffle, and non-profit organization keeps the other half. Consider holding a raffle at an event 50-50 dinner, if you encounter difficulties in obtaining items from a silent auction or if you already held a silent auction recently.
- Fill a large jar with thousands of small items like candy, coins or paper clips. Make sure you know the number of items in the jar. Pick up an item, like a television from a local business owner, and request a donation of $ 5 for a chance to guess the number of items in the jar. The person who guesses correctly wins the prize. This is another event that can be held in a silent auction to keep participants involved.
