Additional Sources of Revenue
Keep in mind that organizations must spend money to put on a fundraiser, which needs to be taken into account in the planning stages. Be very clear about the direct and indirect costs of planning and putting on a fundraiser. Remember, some organizations begin planning for a fundraiser a year in advance.
Many resources are available on how to plan fundraising events that are relatively inexpensive and highly creative. Many communities hold conferences and workshops. The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits also sponsors no-charge “bring your lunch” fundraising and networking sessions. The internet, newspapers, magazines and personal networks also help identify new fundraising resources.
