Holding the perfect fundraising event can be a challenge without the right planning in place.
Planning your event can even be much more important than the actual event itself.
One of the biggest problems that many smaller organizations will face is they try to put everybody in charge.
The old adage keep it simple has never been truer when it comes to holding a fund-raising event.
One of the keys when holding any type of fundraiser is to make sure that you have the proper people placed.
Often times, there are several people that want to be in charge, but you simply must limit this to only one or two people who make the majority of the decisions.
You may have heard of the many disasters that happen within a planning committee for any type of event let alone an event.
A planning committee usually goes wrong when they have everybody feeling that they are in charge.
This may sound good in theory, but it is not a good plan.
The most successful planning committees for a fund-raising event will be one that is set up with a group of people who are simply there to give suggestions and ideas.
If you want to have more success with your event then leave the final decisions up to only two or three people within the planning committee to have the final say.
When planning out your fundraising event you want to make sure that you developed a good theme that blends well with your cause.
The theme is very important to your success and will often times.
Be the closing element that many people decide to donate to your organization.
