The right fundraiser ideas can reap a great profit for any charity. However organizers tend to wonder for months for the right items to auction off at a charity event. The right items not only attract many people to the event, but also help raise substantial money for the charity. One great fundraiser idea is partnering with your locality’s fancy restaurants and auction a complete meal for a couple. The winning bidder receives a gift certificate for a complete meal comprising of an appetizer, an entrée and a desert. Though people attending fundraisers are generally concerned more about raising money for charity then wining a meal, it’s always better to ensure that they feel the gift certificate is worth bidding for. Of course, it goes without saying that the gift certificate should be large enough for the winning bidder to enjoy the meal without having to pay additional money to cover the meal’s cost. Exciting dates One great idea is a bachelor or bachelorette auction where you offer bidders a chance to win a date with an eligible bachelor or bachelorette in exchange for raising money for charity. For this type of an auction, you will be to advertise and solicit applications from both bachelors and bachelorettes. Take a look at all the applications and reduce your options to 10 people, who will be auctioned off at your fundraiser event. You could also offer a complete vacation package for a couple to a popular destination like Las Vegas or Los Angeles at your fundraiser. The package should constitute plane tickets, rental car, tickets to a show or amusement park and a stay of at least three nights. Make sure however that the winning bidder has enough time to use the package by applying for a package without an expiry date. Exciting gift hampers Another great fundraiser idea is auctioning off gift baskets following a specific theme. It’s left to you to choose a relevant theme for the basket, and fill it with all types of things related to it. If your theme is Valentine’s Day, fill the basket with heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, a bottle of champagne and a large stuffed animal. If the theme is Mother’s Day, you could include some cosmetics, boxes of chocolates or biscuits, a dress and perhaps a gift coupon to a popular shoe store. Once again, make sure the basket is worth the winning bid! Click here to read about more fundraising ideas that have worked for many non profit organizations!
