6. FUNDRAISING IDEAS & TIPS

7. • Offer a ticket for non-attendees (at half the
price) if people would like to still donate and
support the cause

8. • Don’t just focus on corporate sponsors –
contact local organizations too that are
familiar with the recipient charity
• After all, Twestival Local is … local!

9. • Seek out in-kind donation opportunities:
venue, catering, décor, raffle prizes, printing
supplier, entertainment

10. • Have a silent auction at the event with
donated prizes from organizations

11. • Sell raffle tickets at the event for one of the
bigger prizes

12. • Get a company to sponsor a hashtag
• Example: Twestival Phoenix 2011
