“Special fundraising events, especially those that include gaming, can be extremely effective fundraising strategies,” explains Smith + Howard’s Nicole Davis. “However, without the right guidance, gaming activities and other special fundraising activities can turn into a major headache.” In this overview, Nicole outlines the reporting requirements nonprofit organizations must be aware of before hosting special fundraising events featuring games of chance, raffles, bingo, and more. #Fundraising #Nonprofit #Form990

Hi Friends among the Rockies!  The CSAE Annual Conference is coming up in a few months and it’s recruiting time for our ever popular Silent Auction. We are appealing to your generous hearts and asking that you please contribute to our biggest fundraiser of the year. Our silent auction helps to support programs, education, networking events, and all things CSAE. Our 2023 silent auction during our 1st night reception was so much fun. The CSAE Annual Conference silent auction takes place during our first night welcome reception. At the silent auction last year, there were elbows thrown, hoorays and sighs, but most of all was the level of excitement everyone feels about winning one or more of our outstanding donations. We’re making it so easy to donate: Can’t decide what to donate? Check out our previous top bid items. Tell us what number on the donation list (click on ‘donation list for the hyperlink) you want to donate or if have your own creative idea, fill out the donation sheet here Survey Monkey  https://lnkd.in/gbuy_QyK  and the committee will mark you down.   FAQ’s: -Donation items need a value. We value all of our donations. If you want us to bundle you item with another basket or theme idea, just let us know. You’ll still get lots of credit on our donation list. -Pick up/delivery of items prior to the conference. It’s easiest on the committee if we have at least your description of the donation, value and who is donating put in Survey Monkey https://lnkd.in/gbuy_QyK  prior to arrival so we can have your bid sheet ready. Bring your item with you, let us know where to pick it up or any special instructions we need to get your item.   -Expirations. Please have a year window of availability if donating items that expire, such as hotel room nights. Please reach out to Richelle Kemper, [email protected] with questions, clarifications or ideas.

NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, just sharing an interesting thought. Cool prizes don’t motivate people to share your brand/idea/cause or whatever else you are trying to promote. My football club, the Judean Rebels, is made up of multiple tackle and flag teams with hundreds of players and former players. I made an offer to the team captains: Whichever team raises the most money for our go-fund-me would get a customized pair of Air Force Ones. The mock-up looked sweet. The team captains were pretty into it. I thought it would be a home run. But then we ran into our first major problem: We couldn't convince any of the players to commit to raising anything. And the captains gave up. The result? 24 donations reaching about $1,500. So early this year my friend Daniel Freishtat reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to run a peer-to-peer fundraiser using CauseMatch. I told him I know everything about peer-to-peer, and believe me, it’s not for us. But we met anyway, and within a few minutes, we uncovered 5 different huge mistakes I had made. And what we could have done. So I took them up on it. And we’ll see if we can beat that $1,500 raised. And I am going to show you exactly how we do it in the following weeks. #fundraising #nonprofit #football

A little 'inside baseball' for how a Rally North America event works. 80+ cars line up in a smallish town (think Erie, PA or Knoxville, TN) on a sunny weekday morning - come to think of it, I've never been on a starting grid where it was raining - listen to a rallying introduction from our organizers and that town's leadership, and then get in our cars, waiting for the coveted Clue Card for the day and the green flag. Local news crews recording as we take off, one by one. Pictured is one of those Clue Cards - this from our 2016 Big Sky Rally which ran from Billings, MT to Portland, OR. As you can see, each checkpoint is described with just a clue and an image. We have to figure out what it is, where it is, and how to get there more quickly than the other 79 cars' occupants. While respecting traffic laws, mind you; a ticket is an instant DQ. Our place in the starting grid is dictated by how much money we raise for the charity that year. In 2012, I secured pole position with approximately $3500 raised. By now, pole position requires more than $20,000 in donations. We are that serious about the cause. I'm usually good now for about $8,000 - though I'm behind in my efforts so far this year. Please help me out by hitting Like and, if you think the cause worthy, repost to your networks. All donations, large or small, are hugely appreciated and roundly celebrated. My goal for this week is to raise $250 through our donation page, which is linked below. All proceeds go directly to Camp Sunshine and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes. 🏕 ☀ This post is related to Rally North America's 2024 Sunshine Rally. As we do nearly every year, my wife and I are participating under the team name Slightly Lost. Our goal is to raise as much money for the chosen #charity as we possibly can; please help us make a difference for the kids at Camp Sunshine by contributing at our Team Page. Link in the Comments. For more information, or if you represent a business that would like to get exposure during the event, DM me. #fundraising #foragoodcause #rallynorthamerica #campsunshine #slightlylost661
