How can I engage local businesses in fundraising?

Engaging local businesses in fundraising can be done through partnerships, sponsorships, and community events. What type of fundraising are you considering?

I'm thinking about organizing a charity event. Any tips?

Absolutely! You can invite local businesses to sponsor the event, provide goods or services for auction, or even participate in the event itself. Have you identified any businesses you'd like to approach?

Yes, I have a few in mind. How should I approach them?

Start by crafting a compelling proposal that outlines the benefits for the businesses, such as exposure and community goodwill. A personal visit or a phone call can also make a strong impression.

What if they decline to participate?

If they decline, thank them for their time and ask if they would be willing to support in other ways, like promoting the event on social media. Building relationships is key!
