Q: Events seem to be a hard area to budget for and control. Does anyone have any simple ideas on how to do this?

A: There are two types of events. The one that is organised in-house and external events or community events where members of the public organise and “own”.

In house events need to continuously be evaluated to a) ensure that lessons are learned, b) that should a project/event be in decline it can be spotted and sorted out. Budgets should include all costs that will incur should sponsorship not be found. This shows worse case scenarios that otherwise could have implications for cash flow.

Community fundraising should remain in the community and the clients should hold only be supported by the Charity. E.g. providing packs volunteers. Clear, honest expectations need to be set between you and community fundraiser.

Event fundraising is one of the most rewarding areas for fundraisers because of the extraordinary things that people achieve at grassroots level. (Posted 16/04/2001)
