The Best Charity Fundraising Events

The Best Charity Fundraising Events
There are many different ways of raising money for charity between sponsorship, events, services, competitions, fairs and sales. Many of the events can be set up for free, especially if you have a space for hosting. Events in particular as a form of fundraising can raise lots of money as people will support an event that they can look forward to and enjoy.

A great idea for a charity fundraising event is to host a bingo night! Bingo is fun for all the family and it is a great evening out for everyone. Bingo events are also very cheap to set up as the only disposable materials that are needed are paper, pens and a bingo ball dispenser. You may also want to provide some very light refreshments for guests that would be included in their entry fee. This will keep a very low overhead budget with a potential high profit if you charge a set price per head.

It is a great idea to have a theme for you bingo, perhaps a decade like the 1960’s or 70’s, pirate themed or cowboy themed, this will encourage people to put in an effort. You could make the bingo sheets in line with the theme of the part, it is easy to find these on the internet, once more you could play music in relation to the theme you have chosen to give a complete experience!
Setting up the event should not take too much organisation but things to do will be outlined below:

-You will need to organise all the equipment such as tables and chairs for all the players. This should be easy accessible as most large halls will provide these.

-It is essential to have a good bingo caller, someone who has a lot of character will get the crowd into the game. A PA system is essential for the bingo caller so the whole room is able to hear him/her.

-Check with the charity that you are raising money for that they are happy to use this method to raise money this way.

-Make sure the heating on in the hall to keep the bingo players warm if this is a winter event.

-You will have to do a certain amount of marketing for the event although this could be done with low cost or free methods such as email and social media, these are a great way to reach a large amount of people very easily.
The event is sure to be a roaring success, so best get started organising today!
