Event Organizing Firm Helps Nonprofits Raise Donations in Tough Economic Times

Ten or more participants – If an organization secures 10 or more participants, the organization can arrange a private event, and 90% of the donations collected will go to the organization. The remaining 10% will remain with …For A Cause. This last program requires a greater amount of commitment from the organization, and it is usually suggested that organizations start with the first two before taking on the third commitment.

If no participants sign up in the first two programs, the organization’s only expense would be the announcement of the event, and in this day of electronic advertising this cost would be minimal or even nothing. The third program, as stated above, would require an organization’s actual commitment and it would be responsible for guaranteeing the registration fee for a minimum of 10 participants.

…For A Cause organizes the entire event, collects and tracks donations for each participant, and sends out letters of acknowledgment to the donors.

The next event for …For A Cause is the Ireland Walk or Ride from August 9-15, 2009. Participants will gather just above Galway, Ireland, and spend seven days walking or riding through the Irish countryside. Accommodation will be in a 16th century castle, which will leave participants with the memories of a lifetime, all the while raising much needed donations for organizations close to the participants.
