Helping Charitable Organizations During COVID-19 Outbreak
Overcoming these difficult times for charitable organizations and turning lemons into fundraising lemonade!!!
As an MC and Auctioneer, I am fortunate to work with and assist in fundraising for hundreds of philanthropic organizations annually.
Many of the fundraising initiatives involve up close and live interactions with guests, golfers, participants, etc.
The Covid 19 pandemic has turned social interactions, public events, and fundraising for philanthropic organizations upside down!
The future of fundraising or at least immediate future will require outside the box thinking to be successful financially and to continue communication with current and prospective donors.
We have come up with a few interesting ideas that we would be happy to share with you!
- The Golf Tournament: A tried and true day of fun, interaction and fundraising for so many important organizations. We have developed some unique options by way of turning your proposed and or postponed Golf Tournament into a virtual event complete with virtual golf, scoring, and of course social interaction and fundraising that will put a smile on your virtual golfers and guests and fundraising dollars into your organization’s account.
- The Gala Dinner: Turn this staple into a virtual gala complete with entertainment, live and silent auction components. Profile your key sponsors and donors on a live web version of your gala with guests being entertained and giving directly from home.
- Call to Action Telethon and Webathon: We can create a special live event on social media channels that will tell your story, and raise much needed funds for your organization.
These are challenging times and challenging times require us to think outside the box. Please feel free to reach out to Point Blank and Howard Blank to collaborate with you to help with the fundraising lemonade!
