• Raising money for a specific cause or charity can be more difficult than you may think - that’s why it’s important to go about fundraising in a creative way.

• When fundraising is implemented creatively, you can avoid the hassle that comes with boring, repetitive fundraising techniques that most people don’t get too thrilled about.

• Instead, help people get motivated to donate by engaging in a fun activity within the community.

• Here are a few ideas of how you can set up a unique fundraiser for a great cause…

• First, get the children involved.

• Let’s face it - people of all ages become inspired when they see young children participating in an event for charity.

• Whether it’s a dance recital, a play, or a sports event, parents and other donors will undoubtedly be influenced to support their children and help raise money for the cause.

• Next, organizing a competition is a great way to raise money for a charity - just make sure you have everything planned out beforehand.

• There are plenty of options to choose from here - you can host a fashion show, a pie-eating competition, or even a basketball shooting competition in your community that everyone will want to participate in.

• These types of events not only get people excited to participate in, but they raise the level of community involvement and bring everyone together.

• Third, host a dance-a-thon - because who wouldn’t want to go dancing for charity?

• The way you market this event is key because there are very different types of people for your target audience.

• You can speak towards couples, dance teams, athletic teams, elderly men and women, and children alike to give them each a different experience to look forward to in order to raise money for a great charity.

• Lastly, we live in an age where people are aware of the importance of health and fitness, and are increasingly becoming involved with various fitness events - so use one for a fundraiser!

• Not only will you be supporting a good cause, but people will want to be involved with an event that benefits their own body and brings people together through good health.

• So, set up a 5K within your town, or host a yoga or zumba fitness class outside in a park - there are plenty of options you can use here, and community member will love it!
