Common Fundraising Activities
We Support and Use
Our fundraising activities. ideas, strategies and solutions go beyond simple bake sales to leverage the members' professional networks and expertise. Advisory council members primarily serve as ambassadors and connectors rather than event planners. Their influence and credibility are their greatest assets in a fundraising capacity.
Strategic fundraising activities
Identify and cultivate major donors: Members use their personal and business networks to introduce the organization to high-net-worth individuals and corporate executives. They can also assist with one-on-one "asks" for major gifts.
Secure event sponsors: Drawing on their corporate connections, advisory council members are often instrumental in securing sponsors for events like galas, golf tournaments, or silent auctions. They can solicit in-kind donations of products and services, such as venue space or food and beverage catering, which significantly reduces the cost of events.
Leverage corporate giving programs: Advisory council members who work for large companies can help a nonprofit navigate corporate social responsibility programs to secure grants, matching gifts, or volunteer stipends.
Event-based fundraising activities
Advisory council members don't run events but participate in ways that maximize fundraising, such as:
Host dinner parties: Members can host intimate fundraising dinner parties at their homes, inviting their network of contacts to learn more about the organization's mission in a personal setting.
Procure auction items: For auctions held at galas or other events, advisory members use their network to secure high-value or unique donations, such as vacation packages, experiences, and luxury goods.
Promote peer-to-peer campaigns: Members can create and share their own personalized fundraising pages as part of a larger peer-to-peer campaign for an event like a walk-a-thon. They share the campaign with their social and professional networks to increase reach.
Act as event hosts or speakers: Having a prominent advisory council member speak at an event can lend credibility and inspire attendees. They can offer a testimonial on why they support the cause and encourage others to get involved.
Awareness and advocacy activities
Connect to new constituencies: Members from a younger demographic can help an organization tap into a new generation of donors by suggesting and promoting modern engagement strategies, like social media challenges or virtual events.
Represent the organization at functions: Members serve as public ambassadors at community events. This helps to enhance the nonprofit's public image and provides networking opportunities to connect with potential new supporters.
Give testimonials: Advisory members can share their personal stories of why they support the organization through print materials, videos, and social media campaigns.
Participate in fundraising strategy: Through advisory meetings, members provide valuable insights on market trends, new strategies, and how to best reach potential donors.
