- Set the date and location. Schedule your event for a day, time and location that provides you with plenty of time to plan and promote it properly.
- Draw up a list of jobs to be done.
- Set fundraising goals and a budget. It is important you know all your costs before embarking on an event. This will help you monitor your expenses. It will also help you determine your fundraising goals. The lower your cost, the higher the contribution.
- If you can, find a volunteer for each of the jobs.
