4 Ways to Organize Nonprofit Fundraisers
Posted by Ashley Kaufman
Nonprofits depend on the generosity of donors to support their work in local communities and around the world. Every minute counts when planning your fundraising strategy, as nonprofit leaders engage companies and individuals to join your mission. Planning events to connect with donors is a group effort - and the more people that can help, the better. Sign ups streamline organizing from volunteer scheduling to fundraiser ticket sales, giving you more time to invest in growing your mission.
Check out these four ways to plan nonprofit fundraisers with sign ups:
Host an Auction
Let the bidding begin! Auctions are a favorite fundraising event, giving people the chance to support your cause and win fun items and experiences. You can use a sign up to request donations such as gift baskets, gift cards and professional services. Silent auctions are a great way to spark excitement and conversation at in-person events like galas. You can also open your fundraising efforts to a broader audience with an online auction.
Our partner company Auction Frogs makes it easy to manage online auctions, event fundraising, mobile bidding and more. You can upload images and set parameters for accepting bids, and easily process payments with a system integrated directly into the software. The tool also provides a host of supporting features, such as real time reporting.

Plan a Gala Event
Invite your community for a night of celebration in their finest! Gala events give nonprofits an opportunity to thank donors in person and share how your work is making a difference. Sign ups streamline organizing for formal events so leaders can spend more time connecting with supporters. You can take care of important planning details with a sign up such as collecting RSVPs and organizing volunteers.
Share your sign up link on social media and in digital communications like email newsletters to promote your event.
