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 media coverage of the event.
Instruction manual
1
Decide in whose favor the charity event will be held, and in what form it will be organized (concert, sporting 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). Conclude agreements with the media and website owners on information support.
2
Contact a lawyer to advise on your 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 a fee is not charged when transferring money to the account of your non-profit organization.
3
On your own or with the help of employees of advertising agencies, prepare articles, booklets and posters covering the future event. Do not bore possible participants of the event with unnecessary details, indicate in the information materials the specific goals and objectives of your charity event. Do not forget to bring the details of the organization (name, address, phone numbers, e-mail, account number).
4
Decide on the place, date and time of the charity event. Try to ensure that your "competitors" are no less significant events held on the same day. This will provide you with comprehensive media support and a large influx of participants at the event.
5
Disseminate information about the upcoming action in universities and institutions of the city in order to recruit a staff of volunteers, without whom not a single event of this kind usually does. Prepare a list of assignments for volunteers, take care of their placement and meals, organize an uninterrupted supply of volunteers with necessary supplies and, if a long-term project is planned, communications. Do not forget to thank them for their help in preparing the action.
6
Be sure to pay attention to the media coverage of the results of the action. Articles and reports should contain information on the amount of funds collected and their distribution, as well as on the number of participants and guests of the event.
