Question:

Planning a fundraiser - Can you help?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I want to organise a fundraiser for a child who has cancer. I live in the UK but the baby lives in America.

Just a few questions:

1. Do I need to register this as a charity?

2. How do I approach sponsors for the fundraising event? Letter, email, in person?

3. Should I prepare a presentation to encourage sponsors to donate?

4. What are some good ideas for fundraising? (Bingo, poker, etc...)

5 How can I attract a high profile guest/entertainer?

Anything else you may think I need to know?

Thank you in advance!

  1. I don't know a whole lot about doing a charity fundraiser so I can't answer any the questions you asked, however....

    I have done a Gold Canyon fundraiser for the benefit of a child who had cancer (my neice as a matter of fact) and we were able to raise over $2k for her care with just a small fundraiser.  Also, Gold Canyon has a program where you can apply for a grant for any child under the age of 18 who has a need.  If you'd like more information about that please let me know.
