FUNDRAISING IDEAS & TIPS
• Offer a ticket for non-attendees (at half the price) if people would like to still donate and support the cause
• Don’t just focus on corporate sponsors – contact local organizations too that are familiar with the recipient charity
• After all, Twestival Local is … local!
• Seek out in-kind donation opportunities: venue, catering, décor, raffle prizes, printing supplier, entertainment
• Have a silent auction at the event with donated prizes from organizations
• Sell raffle tickets at the event for one of the bigger prizes
• Get a company to sponsor a hashtag
• Example: Twestival Phoenix 2011

• Sell t-shirts with the city logo
• Set up a friendly rivalry with another Twestival city
