Hosting a Summer Ball

A swanky summer ball is a great way to celebrate the coming season, network with the community, and raise much-needed funds for the charity of your choice. A debutante ball is a popular spring and summer event, and one that formally introduces the eligible ladies in the community to society. That being said, a summer star-gazing ball or black and white soiree is just as elegant, and it might be more suitable if your guest list is made up of married couples or business contacts. Good organization is key to a successful summer ball, and that is done by organizing a stellar fundraising committee to oversee and delegate all planning aspects of the summer ball and fundraising efforts.

Going to the Dogs! Fundraising with Fido

If you have a fuzzy best friend who’s warmed his or her way into your family and your heart, you have all the more reason to focus your charity efforts on animals. Shelters and animal hospitals need community funding in order to keep up even the most essential services. It doesn’t take much effort to fundraise for those furry and less fortunate. It just takes a little bit of creativity and a lot of love. Why not teach Fido a little charity spirit by putting on his leash and taking him along for the fundraising efforts? Our collection of creative animal-focused fundraisers range from doggie washes and doggone bake sales to movies for Fido and pet sitting services.

Having Some Fun at the Office with a Business Fundraiser

Corporate social responsibility, also known as CSR, is becoming a hot and sought-after trait that many employees are looking for in potential employers. Many major national and international corporations are now starting to contribute to charity causes—be it as simple as a cash donation or an entire fundraising campaign where staff donates portions of their weekly paychecks to a charity effort. Smaller companies unable to give financially can still offer volunteer opportunities for staff, or provide pro bono services to aid the less fortunate within their communities. Supporting charities through the workplace carries many benefits for both the employees and the charity in need.

Eating Al Fresco with a Picnic Fundraiser

Are you looking for a fundraising idea for your school? A simple fundraiser that will get parents and kids outside to enjoy the day, network, play games, and even raise some needed funds for your school activities? What about a school picnic fundraiser? Charity picnics are great events for school kids. All you really need is a good basket of yummies, willing picnic participants, and a scenic spot to spread out your meal. Picnic school fundraisers are easy to organize, and also a great way for parents and kids—pre-school to high school—to enjoy a social afternoon and raise money for their school teams or events.

Depending on the source you ask (dictionaries, encyclopedias, wikis and more) you'll find multiple answers.
