Read moreIf you have a creative streak, you can use it to help with your fundraising! Let’s look at some ideas to get you started.
Crowdfunding is a simple, effective way to raise funds for any cause, whether it’s a personal cause, to help a loved one, or for charity. Being proactive in running and promoting your campaign is key to success, and a big part of this can be fundraising events.
Thinking outside the box can help to attract the attention of potential donors. If you have a creative streak, why not incorporate that into your fundraising? We’ll look at 10 fun, creative ideas to inspire you.
If you have a room you need to be painted (or you just want to dedicate a room of your home to be repainted for the event), throw a painting party! Gather loved ones and the local community and encourage them to get into the creative spirit. Provide the paints and any safety wear needed, and ask people to pay a fee or donation to take part.
On a similar note, why not get even more artistic and gather people together to paint a mural? You could do this on a wall in your home, or even better, get permission to paint an outside wall in the local community. This provides an opportunity to attract extra attention and promote your cause.
Provide the paints, come up with a theme or assign people a section of the wall to do their own thing, and get painting! Don’t forget to ask for donations for people to take part of course!
If you and your friends can knit, why not throw a knit-a-thon? One of the best things about this event is that it can be done virtually, so it’s low cost and allows people from all over the world to join in. Each person taking part asks people to sponsor them, with all the money going to your cause.
Everyone gathers their supplies and knits for a set amount of time (for example 12 hours or 24 hours, depending on how challenging you want to make it). You could join together on video call for the event, or simply regularly check in with one another. It’s a great idea to consider live streaming your knitting on a social media platform to attract more attention!
Get crafty and make some jewellery to sell. If you’ve never made jewellery before, there are lots of easy to follow videos and guides online to help you out. You can make it as simple or detailed as you like. You can sell your jewellery at a local fair, online, or through word of mouth!
If you’re skilled with makeup you could put on a makeup class, either in person or virtually. Charge a fee to take part in your class and have fun! If you like the idea but aren’t skilled with makeup yourself, you could ask a local makeup artist to donate their time to your cause.
A beautiful way to get creative is by setting a challenge involving the nature on your doorstep. Head down to your local park, beach, or any area that you find beautiful. Collect some supplies: this could be anything such as leaves, branches, or rocks for example. Ensure you are respectful of the nature around you, of course.
Head home and make something creative from your findings. Encourage everyone who takes part to take pictures and videos of their masterpiece. You can offer a prize for the most inventive creation, and of course ask for donations to take part.
Why not challenge people to create an art piece that represents your cause? This encourages real imagination and participants can use any art form they like. Ask for donations to take part and don’t forget a prize for the best entry. You could even display the entries in an art show and charge a fee to enter, generating even more funds and promoting your cause at the same time!
An excellent way to involve the local community and raise awareness for your cause is to start a community patchwork quilt. Participants can pay a fee to make a patch and you can add it to the quilt. Once the quilt is complete, you can display it somewhere in the local area.
People can make a patch that’s personal to them; schools can have the kids come up with an idea for a square; and local businesses could even make a square to advertise their business.
An art class is fun for everyone involved. Ask a local artist or art teacher to donate their time and charge a fee to take part. This is so flexible as you can do any type of art you like, from pottery, painting, sewing, or even a dance class!
People love a personalized item! Get your thinking cap on and come up with a product that you can easily perosnalize in a large numbers if needed. This could be mugs, cups, or tote bags with names painted on them, for example. You could even make headbands or scrunchies in people’s chosen colors, or personalized badges! Anything that’s quick, simple, and cost effective works.
You can sell your personalized items online, for example through eBay or Etsy. You could also use social media, or sell them at a local fair. It’s worth providing your link on a small card or note along with the buyer’s purchase, to encourage additional donations and spread the word about your campaign.
Whichever fundraising idea you choose, don’t forget to promote your event and your campaign as much as possible. Be proactive and work hard so you have the best possible chance of reaching your goal. If you’re ready to get started, why not set up your GoGetFunding campaign today?
