An event can be a significant part of a charity
or a non-profit organizations fundraiser
program. Small scale events have been used for
fundraising activities for years. Although,
setting up and getting one of these events going
can be a very time consuming and even a risky
process. Successful fundraiser events depend on
having the right skills and know how about what
works, having the required resources, and
marketing the event to the target audience as
effectively as possible.

Why do you want to run a Running for Charity
Fundraiser event? Whether the event is large or
small, the main objective in a fundraising event
is to generate income and raise awareness about a
particular charity, area of work, or disease. In
order for the event to be successful, a strategy
and clear objectives must be laid down. It is
important to be absolutely clear about the
purpose of the event and who is it for. In the
most ideal case, there should be once clear
objective that will help inform decisions about
the venue of the Running for Charity event,
invitation lists, ticket price, media involvement
and promotion as well as the other resources
needed to organize and carry out the event.

What type of event? There are plenty of useful
resources that can give you more ideas about the
event. Looking around to learn more about the
similar events in your local community that have
been successful can help you get started. The
event has to be marketable, saleable, and
profitable whether the generated income is
directly through the event or through future
support.

What resources will you need? The existing
resources you have in terms of staff and
volunteers. The other staff or resources you
need. Resources for clearing up of all the mess
after the event. The promotional materials you
require. Ability to utilize what you already
have. Deciding an advertising budget.

Sponsors A successful event has to have sponsors
to be profitable. A running for charity event can
attract sponsorship reducing your risks and
costs. The best case scenario is that your event
gets fully sponsored so that you have no costs
and can raise the maximum amount of money for the
charity you are working with. When approaching
potential sponsors give them a clear idea about
how much money you are expecting from them and
what you are offering in return.

Promotion Your promotional activities should
start with an understanding of the segment of
people who you want to attract and the number of
people you are expecting to be interested, which
is basically your target market. In the case of a
charity run, the event may be of general interest
so you should start by promoting it to people who
you already know and might be interested. You
should use social media to spread awareness about
your event.
I hope this presentation will help you to
