Where can you find ideas for an arts fundraiser?

• Answer:

  One good fundraiser we use at work is to silent auction premium parking spaces in one month blocks. We also installed signs at the parking spaces saying: This spaced reserved for our special "name of charity" contributor, "removable name plate" You can also do a search online for your particular "art" fundraiser.....example: ballet fundraisers. Theatre fundraisers. One very successful short term fundraiser we had was "Win a Dinner Month for a Year" We were able to secure a local caterer to agree to provide 2 casseroles a month for one year. We then secured a bakery that provided 2 desserts a month for a one year and one additional "birthday" cake. The grand prize - Dinner and dessert once a month for one year. Second prize - Dinner once a month for one year Third prize - Dessert once a month for one year. Fourth prize - Birthday cake We got the raffle ticket printing donated by a local printer, on the ticket was the name of the caterer and bakery. Tickets were sold for $2.00 each. People went crazy buying the tickets. Who wouldn't want to win those prizes. In just a couple of months we raised over $2,000. Wasn't a "big" money maker but no cost and simple. As I said, everyone was buying the tickets because the prizes were so great. A staff member picked up the desserts each month and the caterer delivered the meals to our office. Winners came to the office with big smiles to pick up their prizes each month.
