How do I choose the right venue for a fundraising event?

There are a few options to consider when choosing the right venue for your fundraiser. If you’re hosting a political fundraiser, try approaching likeminded venues — such as political bookstores, community spaces, or music venues. Make sure to also consider the venue’s accessibility, as well as its capability to serve food and drink.

What are some effective marketing strategies to promote a fundraising event?

From social media ads to smart targeting, Eventbrite has all the marketing tools you need to promote your fundraiser. However you spread the word, make sure to signpost a clear fundraising goal to your attendees — whether that’s raising money for a local cause or a charity. When promoting your fundraiser, clearly communicate the goal of the event, what attendees can expect — and why supporting your cause can make a difference.

How do I identify potential donors and encourage them to make a contribution at my event?

The best way to reach potential donors is to connect with wider networks, both in person and online. Does your political campaign align with activist groups you can contact? Does your fundraiser seek to raise awareness about a community issue that local businesses might support? Tapping into existing networks — and their networks — can help to grow your event’s reach and boost your fundraising goal.

What should be included in the agenda of a political fundraising event?

Fundraiser agendas can be structured in a number of different ways. You might want to include space for keynote speeches from different figures — such as charity spokespeople or local activists — as well as opportunities for attendees to discover more about your cause, share food, and enjoy live entertainment.

How do I ensure that my fundraiser runs smoothly and that guests have a positive experience?

Once you’ve decided on an agenda, you might want to print out times of key talks, workshops or performances on flyers to display around the venue — as well as signposting any breakout rooms for other activities. Make sure your event listing clearly outlines what guests can expect from your fundraiser, as well as any information about your cause they may want to know in advance.

How do I properly thank donors and follow up after the event?

Continue to cultivate relationships with donors after the event by sending personalized thank you emails, updates on the progress of your mission, and milestones you’ve managed to celebrate thanks to their donation. You might also offer thank-you gifts to build your community engagement , such as printed tote bags, discounts, or memberships.
