(PRBuzz.com) December 14, 2012 -- The tightening situation of concurrency in the third sector has lead to a massive professionalization of fundraisers and organising events as a means of marketing in the hunt for donations. Even the hiring of Celebrity Speakers has become common throughout the last years.
Fundraising can be a great way to involve an array of different people and the community as a whole. It can raise awareness for your cause in a fun way, reaching new audiences and a wider potential new supporter base.
But planning a fundraising event can be time consuming and stressful. However, the first thing that has to be done is obtaining a licence. In most cases the premises on which the event will be held must have a current premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003. Under this act certain short-term, small-scale events may be held, provided the organisers send a Temporary Event Notice to the local licensing authority and police ten working days in advance of the event.
Licences cover the supply and sale of alcohol, the performance of various types of regulated entertainment (including live or recorded music), and the supply of hot food and drink late at night.
There are so many fundraising ideas out there; it's difficult to determine which one will be the most effective. The key to making fundraising events pay off is choosing the right event for the right audience at the right time.
When compiling an invitation list, event holders should make sure people from their target audience are included. For example cancer charities that focus on prostrate cancer attract more donations from men while breast cancer charities get more donations from women.
During the last year many more people have been enticed to come by using an after dinner speaker. Those speakers normally provide guests with a memorable experience following a humorous and entertaining speech. This experience often leaves guests with a vivid memory of the charity event and the cause it was supporting, which will encourage future donations to the charity.
Direct Speakers is the easiest and most direct route to booking the best Motivational Speaker.
