In order to organize a charity event, it is necessary to take into account all the features of such a project and enlist the support of the administration and sponsors, as well as pay attention to the coverage of the event in the media.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide for whom the charity event will be held and in what form it will be organized (concert, sports event, auction, fair, etc.). Depending on this, determine who will be the guests of the event and where you can find funds to cover the costs of organizing it (selling tickets, advertising sponsors and / or selling their goods). Enter into agreements with the media and website owners for information support.
Step 2
Contact a lawyer for advice on the chosen form of fundraising. For example, in the case of corporate sponsorship, provided that a charitable donation agreement has been drawn up, you will not have to pay income taxes. And when concluding an agreement with a specific bank, you can agree that no commission is charged when transferring money to your non-profit organization's account.
Step 3
Prepare articles, brochures and posters highlighting the upcoming event on your own or with the help of advertising agency staff. Do not bore potential participants in the event with unnecessary details, indicate in the information materials the specific goals and objectives of your charity event. Do not forget to provide the details of the organization (name, address, phone numbers, e-mail, account number).
Step 4
Decide on the place, date and time of the charity event. Try not to become your "competitors" for no less significant events held on the same day. This will provide you with comprehensive media support and a large influx of guests of the event.
Step 5
Spread information about the upcoming action in the universities and institutions of the city in order to recruit a staff of volunteers, without whom no event of this kind usually does. Prepare a list of assignments for volunteers, take care of their accommodation and meals, arrange for an uninterrupted supply of volunteers with the necessary supplies and, if a long project is planned, communication. Do not forget to thank them for their help in preparing the action.
Step 6
Be sure to pay attention to media coverage of the results of the action. Articles and reports should contain information about the amount of funds raised and their distribution, as well as the number of participants and guests of the event.
