One of the best ways of doing your part for the betterment of society is to organizecollege fundraising events.
You can plan for some interesting way to organize a fundraiser in your
college to raise funds for a good cause. Colleges and schools are the
best places for a fundraising event as you can find many students
actively taking part in bringing a change in the society. School and
college students are usually easy to convince for these activities as
they truly believe in bringing a change in society. People of this age
group are open to new ideas and creativity.
You can pool students and discuss the cause of the event. Organizing
an event is not an easy task. You need to have a sharp sense of planning
and leadership skills. You should be able to plan strategically so that
your event turns successful and you achieve your goal.
Setting the right goal is the foundation of college fundraising
event. If you have chosen the right goal you can plan various methods of
achieving it. Each and every step should be carefully designed so that
you can attract the right group of people. Choose your team carefully.
Pick the right student for each job and assign him the task along with
details about the date of completion. You need to plan the event in such
a way that all the tasks end in the right time and you don’t have to
rush to get things done at the last minute. This depends on the
delegation of work and choosing the manpower.
Apart from delegation of work you should also focus in creating
awareness for your fundraiser and attracting large groups of people. One
of the best ways of getting in touch with people especially the young
school and college going crowd is through social media. Make sure you
design beautiful and catchy invitations; and create an event on Facebook
and distribute the message via Twitter. This would help in attracting a
huge crowd and that too without spending much money on it. You can also
create an online forum asking for creative suggestions with a special
award section for those who give the best suggestions.In this way, you
can create enthusiasm amongst the students and also use those creative
inputs in making your college fundraising event successful.
Another interesting way of gathering people for the social cause is
by inviting a popular celebrity or public figure. If you are able to
rope in a popular figure from a rock band, a football player or an actor
you can pull huge crowds for the event. The entire amount that you
gather in tickets can be donated to the social cause.Celebrities love to
be a part of such college fundraising events because they can reach
their fans directly, contribute to social betterment and be an active
part in bringing a difference in the lives of the needy.
It is essential to create banners and logos as a part of branding.
You can associate a unique color and code for the event as a symbol for
the college fundraising event. Create a dress code or print t-shirts,
caps and bands of a particular color so that you can stand out amidst
the crowd.
Most of time, you can find popular brands actively taking part in the
college fundraising activities. They offer discounts on their products
to all those who attend the event or sponsor the entire event as a part
of their philanthropic duty. Choose the right brand while you are
looking for sponsor is important. Do not opt for the brand whose values
and product do not reflect the event that you are supporting. If you are
organizing a college fundraising event for orphaned kids then choose a
brand that can reflect this event. You can opt for food, milk or health
product brands that help in improving children’s health. It is easy for
people to relate the brand with the cause therefore, choosing the right
brand plays a vital role. These are some good college fundraising
ideas that can be used when hosting a college fundraising event. Use
these fundraising techniques the next time you are planning to gather
people for a good cause.
