Casino Parties to Maximize Contributions
Non-profit fundraising is as much an art as it is a science. The 'holy grail' of fundraising is locking in your top donors to guarantee that you can take that money to the bank. Established non-profit organizations have a mature and refined list of annual donors that they can use as a baseline for budgeting purposes. Emerging non-profit organizations do not have the luxury of having a history of established annual donors and pretty much have to do the heavy lifting of putting that together from scratch. Regardless of whether or not you have that baseline to work with, just knowing that it is or will become the foundation of your operating budget is essential.
Now the trick is to:
a) get your established donors to shell out more than they have in the past, and;
b) add new donors to your list of annul contributors.
Casino Party Events are designed to accomplish both.
The gaming tables and professional dealers provide an upscale environment for friends and strangers to collaborate against 'the house' in a semi-competitive fashion. Old money is meeting new money and business relationships are being established between each deal of the cards or roll of the dice. Your standard contributions are made at the front end of the casino party which allows your players to 'buy-in' to the games. But as he night progresses and players 'bust out', then the checkbooks open up in the middle of the event for the additional 'un-booked' contributions that set casino parties apart from other themes.
There is a natural draw that comes with the whole Las Vegas experience that other themes do not possess. Typically, if you want to attract new money, the biggest drawing card is dropping the names of other attendees. You still have that to work with. But, with a casino party theme you also have the draw and excitement of the games to keep new donors occupied. The biggest fear that a potential new donor has is that they will not be accepted into the established social circles. Chit-Chat over dinner and drinks becomes uncomfortable in that scenario. Having the games available to occupy your guests allows people to enjoy themselves even if the social aspect of the event turns sour for them. It also gives you an opportunity to isolate these individuals and make them feel special and welcome.
The Structure of Casino Party Fundraising is the Key to Success
It's all good to have an upscale venue selected, great food and drinks served, appropriate d?�cor, music, and of course the professional gaming tables and that's not all. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the fundraising during the event, a structure needs to be put in place designed to do exactly that. Quality casino rental companies have the resources to help you along these lines. Some simple ideas are to have mini-tournaments thought the evening to both generate excitement but mostly competition. It is the competitiveness inherent in the games that will bring out the checkbooks. It is also important to be able to announce those spur-of-the-moment donations interactively. This helps to convert the competitiveness of the games into a competition of GIVING. These are just a few of the many suggestions that will come with a casino party fundraising event coordinator...a complimentary service from quality casino rental companies. Be sure to take advantage of their years of experience in servicing non-profit organizations to help you maximize the casino party experience for your guests, and the fundraising experience for your budget.
