Organization Events Competitions are probably the most commonly used fundraising tool Registration fees, if set high enough, can cover the cost of the event as well as provide money for future use You can also ask for donations during registration

Sponsorship Sponsors love to expose their name through advertising, and will pay to do this Sponsors tend to donate things in order to get their name out there This will eliminate costs, especially if you are running a fundraising event Event Manager allows you to add a sponsor banner on your homepage as well as create a dedicated sponsor page for your event

Paraphernalia Selling paraphernalia for your organization is a good fundraising tool It tends to be fairly cheap, and if you can get your sponsors involved by advertising their logo, it is even better Examples would be: t-shirts, hats, stickers, posters, etc. Compete-At’s Event Manager software allows you to create an online store

Online Fundraising You can set up a fundraising campaign with your members by asking them for donations This can be done by adding fundraising options in your Event Manager store People like to be able to donate money easily with a credit card. If it is simple to donate they will be more willing to give money Inform donors what they will be getting in return for donating money
