Performing Arts Fundraising: Ideas to Make Art Possible
Nowadays, raising funds for non-profit organizations for performing arts isn’t a walk in the park. Since fundraising is all about
building connections between your mission and donors, you have to come up with
different ideas to make art possible. Here are a few ideas that help in raising
money for the arts!
Local band concerts
What a local band looks for the most? Gigs to showcase
their play and a little press attention. Now, you can’t simply expect them to
play without charges, but with a little preparation, both sides can help in
achieving what they want. Connect with a local youth center to arrange a
charity event.
Theater arts programs
Selling out performances isn’t a cakewalk for local
productions of new as well as professional theater associations. Connect with
the production company to ask if your organization can buy a schedule
performance at a budget-friendly rate. Afterward, resell the tickets and
consider approaching businesses for your cause. Connect with charitable people,
encourage them to contribute more apart from enjoying performances. Even you
can arrange a meet up after the performance for a solid donation.
Campaigns
You come across several campaigns with professional
fundraising companies. Research for a company on the Internet and get in touch
with them. Make sure the campaign represents your group and the time you have
to contribute.
Variety Shows
You can approach the school gymnasium and church hall and
mention that you’re promoting on a performing arts fundraiser. After the
location, connect with local actors and musicians and ask for their specialty
acts. Many artists are happy to perform without any return favors. Since
they’re participating, ensure there are plenty of TV, radio, and newspapers
covering the event. Not only this exposure benefits the performers but it also
draws attention to your cause.
