Fundraising Marketing Ideas

Fundraising Marketing Ideas


It is vital that you develop successful methods to market your upcoming fundraiser and there are a variety of ways to market your fundraiser to the public. Adopt ideas for your fundraiser that best fit your budget and that works well with the purpose of your fundraising efforts.


Community Announcements


One of the most effective methods to attract the needed funds for your organization, school or non-profit is to pursue various means of announcing your fundraiser to your community or to a wider audience through local publications. Community announcement avenues include publications like newspapers, church or club newsletters or bulletin boards in public spaces. Often there will be no fee for announcing non-profit fundraiser activities, Or you can take advantage of a reduced price for your announcement.


Television/Radio


Another idea for marketing your fundraiser is to check with local radio and TV stations to determine if there is a way of announcing your fundraiser during a news broadcast or by creating a free commercial announcement. You can create a commercial for your fundraiser by filming with a high-quality consumer camera. Edit the footage you've shot with editing software like Movie Maker or Premiere Elements (consumer editing software) or Premiere Pro (Professional level editing software).


Entertainment Ads


Develop a community entertainment event such as a play, a concert or an amateur talent show. Put up posters in public areas (check applicable local ordinances first) or send out mailers to make people aware of the event. Place an ad in a newspaper to invite people out for an evening of entertaining music sponsored by your organization. Decide whether you want to simply ask for donations associated with your entertainment event or, alternately, sell tickets. If you choose to sell tickets, make sure to include information in advertisements related to the event on purchase tickets in advance (if applicable) and the price or tickets and the time and place of the event.
