Question: To Donate Or Not To Donate?

I have never really been into the fundraising until the last couple days. BUT, I have found it fun and challenging to get businesses to donate. ie small private school for a fund raiser. Anyway, does anyone know WHY a business, in particaluar a restuarant WOULD NOT want to donate to causes? In all my restaurant experiences with those who donate, I normally order just as much as the gift card is while waiting to get the card. I just thought it was kinda funny going to pick up a $25 gift card and ordering $30 worth of food to take home.

Answer: A business would treat being asked for a donation as a marketing question. It does not go down as marketing, but the business wants to know that the donation will help bring in more people because they want to shop at a business that supports the same causes that they do.

Question: How to Start a Fundraising Business?

I love doing events and helping others. I recently put together a charity benefit dinner, auction, band, and the whole shabang in two weeks for my friend who has breast cancer.

I got donations from multiple businesses for the auction, got donations for the food, equipment, etc. In the two short weeks and MULTIPLE things going on that day, I still managed to raise over $6000! Which I thought was pretty good seeing that it was an emergency bases that had very little planning time and minimal advertising.

Any idea how I would go about starting a fundrainsing business? Everyone keeps telling me I should but I don’t know how to go about it, what the FL requirements are and how to charge?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Answer: The type of company you want to start is an event planning business. You can specialize in events that raise money for charities. Be aware, however, that many charities rely on volunteers to handle the work you described. In addition, the economy has made special event fundraising much less attractive these days because individuals and companies are not attending the events as a cost-saving measure.

Here is an option for you to consider. Go to work for a non-profit that has big special event fundraisers, like a children’s hospital, a university or disease-related organization. In addition to having volunteers help with the special events, the larger organizations also have staff members who coordinate the events and the activities of the volunteers.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
