Book Festival Fundraiser

Corporate hospitality is a private event held by corporations and businesses to entertain and build good relationships with their staff and clients and to encourage new businesses. For example a company hires a venue such as the Hinitze Hall in the Natural History Museum which offers galleries for a range of evening events with catering facilities and staff which will be used only by the business team.

Proposal one and proposal two both suggest a specific type of fundraiser, include certain specifics on how to conduct the fundraiser, and include ideas about the people the fundraiser would appeal to. Proposal one suggests that the prime way to get people invested in the library is by presenting them with the joy of reading. For this reason, proposal one believes the library should hold a book sale, and in this book sale, people could donate books they no longer have a want for, and the librarians could find books the library no longer needs. Furthermore, the books should be inexpensive so more people would be willing to buy them. For example, fifty cents for paperback books and two dollars for hardcover books. According to the first proposal, this book sale would appeal to people of all ages from children to the elderly, and if visitors do not find a book of their liking there

Purpose: To inform my audience that there are kids out there that need our help and to have the audience persuade to donating.

It is essential to relationship fundraising that donors do not feel obligated or guilted into donating. Fundraisers should strive to inspire donors and to offer solutions. "If we show our donors that there is more depth, substance and sincerity in our communications than

Currently the target base is corporate Americans who are searching for a community event or hobby happening in the local area. For the fundraising, the target base is largely captive and patrons will be supportive from family member to coworkers are representing. Many patrons’ vendors will be willing to serve in any capacity and will be able to provide, however, professional services and resources and have the edge in being relatively supportive and satisfying. No other patrons are particularly expected to be present at these events at the capacity as the favorable sponsors who have a drive to serve, however, if there was the presence of another charitable organization serving the same exact purpose it may actually be beneficial in the same way. As for the psychographic make-up of the target base market, a large number of people attending these events are expected to be medium income families

I will use many strategies to meet our goal. I will ask major donors to make gifts to our organization. Friendraising activities are essential to any fundraising effort. As people become more involved, they become more committed and their donations will increase as their sense of belonging grows (Weinstein, 2009).

Because this would be a charity event, there had to be a foundation or cause that all the profits would go to. It should be something that the people of Conant and surrounding areas could connect with and would be willing to donate to. If it is for a cause that the people believe in, more people would come to support the event, regardless if they are interested in the run itself or not. They would be willing to pay more for tickets if they knew that the money would be going to a cause that is near to their hearts. At first, the JDRF, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, seemed like a good place to donate to. This was because there are quite of few people at Conant who have juvenile diabetes and the annual JDRF walk would be the next day, so it could be a good way to join this event to the cause and promote the walk. But soon after learning about an eighth grade boy who goes to Mead Junior High has brain cancer, I wanted to help and thought that this was a good cause to support. The eighth grader, Alex, is from this area and would have been a student at Conant. There are many people in this area that would support this event because it is a part of the community and they would want to help out. There are two main charities that helped this cause. The Be Positive Foundation, helps kids with pediatric cancer and raises money to provide financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer. And at

The community festival is a nonprofit organization that has a tax exempt status as well as a history of over 20 years. The organization and the event are run by a board of directors and a small, permanent staff composed of no more than five employees at any given time. The goal of the festival is to promote local arts and crafts and to support local artists by providing a venue through which they can sell their work, advertise their work, and develop and expand their customer base. Because the festival has been held for many years, it is well-known in the

Last year I participated in Dressember. A nationwide project to help raise awareness for human trafficking. Each day of December, participants wear a dress to help spread the word that human trafficking is a prevalent issue in today's society. I would like to host a fundraiser to help raise awareness and donate money to ending modern day slavery. Since we live in such a small town, it's hard to make an impact on the rest of the nation but by doing this project we can help make a difference, starting with our small high school. Another idea I have is to host a competition against sports in each season to raise money to donate to a cause of the teams choosing. By doing this, more people will get involved and each of the teams get to show support for a good cause. There’s so much room for myself and others to grow through being a part of such an amazing student body. Starting with making incoming freshman and students that may not have very many friends feel welcome and appreciated and going all the way to trying to make our world a better

The festival had been getting aids and donations from some sources but they are not suitable to be relied on. With a permanent and strong sponsor, the festival would receive higher revenues and would be able to offer more shows and entertainment for the adults and youngsters. More entertainment would increase the number of attendees and also spread the word of mouth across the country. However, this alternative has a limited impact as it would increase the revenue but not affect the other things severely. The sponsors can also help resolve the issue of residence or staying for the attendees of the festival.

What sets this fundraiser aside from all usual fundraisers is that it helps create a meaning of realization and understanding of the people that they are helping by getting people to give up something that those people don`t have for 40 hours and what we take for granted in everyday life. This deeper understanding gives the fundraiser more meaning and spirituality, knowing that what you are suffering during this fundraiser is done by people you are helping every

The other purpose is carrying out awareness campaigns to establish a solid partnership with active community corporations. This goal has several underlying causes; the main one is the large number of children who are deprived of the simplest form of therapy they are so deserving of, because it is too expensive. Therefore through the relations with these corporations I will attempt to start a fundraiser to cover the needed expenses for the above mentioned category on an annual basis.

My goal is to start a free tutoring program, perform music and put on concerts, using donations from them to fund the program. I'd also like to make informational brochures more accessible for students that may be too shy to reach out in person for help. Free seminars featuring professionals and teen guest speakers should be held nationally at middle schools. I'm going to advocate for students until the day I die but I'm not dying until I know that they're in good hands so I need to stand up do

I enjoyed reading Chapter 11 especially what the author writes on page 281 as it summarizes the importance of a message. It keys on the relevance of accessibility, accountability, education, interaction, and empowerment. I think that is the key element of fundraising. I also believe that from a theory to reality there are some gaps. Nonprofits are often under tremendous pressure to perform with very little resources. Some nonprofits can navigate the process successfully and grow, while others do not.

Threats for the festival should raise concern as they can affect future outlook and growth potential. An immediate threat is the competing reading festivals in the area and country during the summer months of July and August. These other festivals can greatly affect numbers for the Writers at Woody Point Festival as potential customers may choose to attend, and spend money travelling to these other venues throughout the year and summer months. Another threat is the uncertainty of having to rent out the Woody Point Heritage Theatre each year. A competing festival or event could rent or even buy the theatre therefore taking away the venue of the festival, or charge a ridiculous amount to rent. The relative age of returning customers may also pose potential threat for festival organizers as they target younger crowds with music concerts, they may give grief and thus upsetting the customers there for the book readings, which is the festivals primary source of revenue.
