Factors To Consider When Planning A Fundraising Jamaica

By Joseph Ellis


Organizing a successful fundraising event is harder than it looks. The occasion should be relaxed for everyone wishing to attend because no one will be willing to participate in or donate to an event that will cause difficulties for them. Planning for such a development activity requires ample time and collaboration with event planners to keep everything in place and to have a good set-up. This article highlights some of the factors to consider when planning a fundraising Jamaica.

Take into account the time, day and location. To achieve the best from your development project, you need to choose an appropriate place, time and date. Choose a location that is easily accessible by everyone whether on foot or by a vehicle. The time and day you schedule the event also affects the turn-up. Most advisable times and dates to organize such activities should be on holidays and hours when most people are free.

Set clear objectives. Such events should have a certain goal that ought to be achieved at the end. Set a certain limit of the money you need to collect at the end of the event and deduct all the expenses incurred during the preparation. No one would be willing to attend an event without a goal or target since it feels like a waste of money. State precise goals of the event in all the advertisements you use for everyone to understand what he needs to do.

Set up the budget. Choose the best and most affordable means to make your event a success. Even though the main reason for this development project is to raise money, you would be a fool to think that you can escape planning for costs. Getting an entertainment team, vendors, printing posters, hiring a venue and getting city permits for such events are things that are likely to cost you a lot.

Find out the laws and regulations for pledge drives in your community. Traditionally, the protocols for telethons are almost the same. However, some cities and communities have standard rules while others have specific regulations which need to be observed. Engage the members of the community and get familiar with the laws and rules set for such developments event in order bring out the best from the occasion.

Decide on the appropriate event marketing. The most commonly used form of marketing is through written invitation cards, messages, emails, and posters. However, with modern technology, you can be able to advertise your event via social media platforms such as Facebook and twitter. Just make sure the means you choose to advertise your event will reach many people as possible.

Choose and manage a team. This whole project requires a combined effort. It would be a hell of a hassle for one person to ensure the success of the event. Choose a team and give the members the plan and goals to keep everyone engaged at every step of the process.

Give appreciation. This is an essential thing that most people fail to put into consideration after organizing a successful development event. You should never compromise the importance of appreciating everyone who spared their time to be at your event. It may seem like a little thing, but an appreciation whether by word of mouth or via appreciation notes makes one happy.
